Type locality: 9.2 km East de la plaza central de Pituil,
Ruta Pcial 11, Dpto Famatina.  
ReproductionOviparous 
TypesHolotype: FML 2659 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Liolaemus koslowskyi differs from all other members ofthe L. darwinii complex, except L. darwinii, L. abaucan and, perhaps L. uspallatensis in having conspicuously enlarged, dark brown or black prescapular and postscapular spots, from L. darwinii in lacking intensely dark pigment within the antehumeral fold, and from L. abaucan and L. uspallatensis in having larger, more strongly keeled dorsal scales and a different dorsal color pattern. (Etheridge 1993: 160). 
CommentMember of the darwinii group of Liolaemus. 
EtymologyNamed to honor Julio Koslowsky (1886-1923), in recognition of his contributions to the herpetology of Argentina, and especially the provinces ofLa Rioja and Catamarca (Koslowsky, 1895, 1898), where this species occurs.
