Synonym	Liolaemus quilmes ETHERIDGE 1993: 152 Liolaemus (Eulaemus) quilmes — SCHULTE et al. 2000 Liolaemus quilmes — CAMARGO et al. 2012
Distribution	Argentina (Salta, Tucumán, Catamarca) Type locality: 3.2 km South of Animaná, Ruta Nac. 40, Dpto Cafayate.
Reproduction	Oviparous
Types	Holotype: FML 2644
Diagnosis	Diagnosis: Within the L. darwinii complex Liolaemus quilmes may be distinguished from L. olongasta, L. laurenti and L. darwinii by the absence of intense black pigment within the antehumeral fold of adult males, from L. darwinii, L. koslowskyi and L. abaucan by the absence ofenlarged postscapular spots in adult males, from L. uspallatensis by its larger, more strongly keeled dorsal body scales, and from L. ornatus and L. irregularis in having precloacal pores in fewer than 10 per cent, rather than more than 95 per cent of the females. Liolaemus quilmes further differs from L. irregularis in having a bold, symmetrical dorsal pattern in adult males rather than irregular blotches, and from L. ornatus in lacking conspcuously darker ground color on the head and neck in adult males. (Etheridge 1993: 153).
Comment	Member of the darwinii group of Liolaemus.
Etymology	Named after the Indian tribe of the Quilmes.
