DiagnosisDiagnosis (we believe): Liolaemus dumerili, belongs to the L. melanops group of species; within this group this new taxon differs from the species belonging to the L. fitzingerii group (L. canqueli, L. casamiquelai, L. chehuanchekenk, L. fitzingerii, L. melanops, L. morenoi, L. xanthoviridis) by a smaller SVL (max SVL 80.9 mm vs. 89–106 mm), sexual dichroma- tism is evident in the new species, and there is not a black antehumeral arc. It differs from L. mapuche, L. cuyanus and L. puelche, by its smaller SVL (max SVL 80.9 mm vs. 83, 102 and 89 mm, respectively) and four scales in contact to the mental scale (six in L. cuyanus; four to six in L. mapuche and L. puelche). The new taxon is different from L. donosobarrosi by the dorsal color pattern clearly different between these species and a lower number of scales around midbody (61–70, X = 65.1 vs. 79–95, X = 85.4).
