| Diagnosis | Diagnosis (or not): Liolaemus purul belongs to the L. melanops group. Within this group, this species differenciates from the species belonging to L. fitzingerii group because of its smaller SVL (L. purul maximum SVL 77.1 mm vs. 89–106 mm in the adult members of the L. fitzingerii group: L. canqueli, L. casamiquelai, L. chehuachekenk, L. fitzingerii, L. mel- anops, L. morenoi, L. xanthoviridis). The new species, L. purul, shows sexual dichromatism, body shape is not cylindrical (torpedo like), and it lacks the melanic antehumeral band. This new species is different from L. mapu- che and L. cuyanus, because the former species is smaller (maximum SVL in L. purul 77.1 mm vs. 83 and 102 mm in L. mapuche and L. cuyanus, respectively); it has four scales in contact with the mental scale (six in L. cuyanus and between four and six in L. mapuche).

| Comment | Similar species: has been confused initially with Liolaemus boulengeri and then with Liolaemus loboi. |
| Etymology | The mapuche word “purul” means “alternated black and white colors (as on a chess board)”. This color pattern is present on the supralabials and is a typical feature that distinguishes this species from the rest of the species belonging to the L. melanops group. |
