CommentSynonymy after PETERS & DONOSO-BARROS 1970 and GOICOECHEA et al. 2013. Oreosaurus lacertus STEJNEGER 1913: 546 has been revalidated by GOICOECHEA et al. 2013.

Habitat: during the day under logs and stones, occupying disturbed areas and agricultural fields. 
EtymologyProctoporus bolivianus has been named after its range. P. subsolanus has been named after the Latin word for “eastern”, referring to the distribution of the species in the easternmost flank of the Andes Mountains in S Peru.
