DistributionArgentina (Santa Cruz), Chile

Type locality: Chile, Magallanes, Monte Aymondi

escarchadosi: Argentina (Santa Cruz), S Chile (Magallanes, only near the border to Argentina); Type locality: “Cardón de los Escarchados, 850 m a.s.l., near to Laguna Los Escarchados, 50 km SE of Calafate (Lago Argentino), Santa Cruz Province, Argentina".  
Reproductionovovivparous 
TypesHolotype: MZUC (Mus. Zool. Univ. Concepción, Chile) No. 5626.
Holotype: MRSN = Mus. Reg. Sci. Nat. Torino No. R-1203-1 [escarchadosi] 
Diagnosis 
CommentGroup: kingii group.

Phylogenetics: this “species” is one striking case in which mitochondrial and nuclear sequence give dramatically discrepant phylogenies (Sánchez et al. 2024).

Synonymy: Liolaemus escarchadosi Scolaro and Cei 1997 is a junior synonym of L. sarmientoi Donoso-Barros 1973 (Sánchez et al. 2024).

NCBI TaxonID: 971277 [escarchadosi] 
EtymologyNamed after Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa (1532-1592), a Spanish explorer, navigator, scientist, and author.

L. escarchadosi was named after its type locality.
