| Comment | Subspecies: Liolaemus monticola chillanensis and L. m. villaricensis are now treated as a valid species by most authors.
Karyotype: Liolaemus monticola monticola exhibits extensive karyotypic variation along its latitudinal geographic distribution with chromosome numbers ranging from 2n = 32 - 46.
LOBO (2001) suggests the following monophyletic species groups within Liolaemus: alticolor, altissimus, gravenhorstii, hellmichi, kriegi, leopardinus, monticola, nigromaculatus, nigroviridis, pictus and tenuis. |
