| Distribution | Argentina (Santa Cruz Province), Chile
Type locality: "Rio Zeballos valley, in the Jeinement River basin, at 850 m elevation, in the neighbourhood of the ford of the river, lying on the track to Paso Roballos, some 80 km south of Los Antiguos, west of Perito Moreno, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina".

Holotype: MNHNC 3674 (Mus. Nac. Hist. Nat. Chile, Santiago) [scolaroi] |

| Comment | Group: kingii group.
Hybridization: Liolaemus zullyi and Liolaemus scolaroi apparently hybridize in the wild fide Sánchez et al. 2024.
Synonymy: Demangel (2016) suggested that Liolaemus scolaroi is a synonym of Liolaemus zullyae, which was rejected and rebutted by Scolaro et al. 2018 but confirmed by Sanchez et al. 2023. L. archeforus is genetically indistinguishable from L. zullyi but morphologically clearly distinguishable, so they appear to be 2 morphs of the same species (Sánchez et al. 2023).
Distribution: Liolaemus scolaroi was erroneously omitted for Chile by Demangel 2016, but found there (D. Pincheira-Donoso, pers. comm., 23 May 2017).
NCBI taxonID: 971281 [scolaroi] |
| Etymology | Named after Mrs. Zully Ortega de Scolaro, the wife of the senior author, hence the name should be “zullyae”, not “zullyi”.
L. scolaroi: “Esta especie esta dedicada al Doctor José Alejandro Scolaro, por su importante contribución al conocimiento de la herpetofauna patagónica, en particular el área geográfica en que se distribuye la presente especie. Sea este un homenaje a un brillante herpetólogo argentino.” |
