DistributionPeru, Chile

Type locality: “Iquique” fide WEner 1907; “Oasis de Pica” (fide Donoso-Barros 1972); neotype locality: Tarapaca region, Chile.  
Reproductionovovivparous. 
TypesNeotype: CZZA 0300 (Colección Zoológica de Zonas Áridas y Andinas), designated by Valladares-Faundez et al. 2018. Former holotype: MZUC 011736 (Zoology Museum of the University of Concepción), actually a L. cf torresi fide Valladares-Faundez et al. 2018. 
DiagnosisAdditional details, e.g. a detailed description or comparisons (3965 characters), are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. 
CommentSynonymy: LANGSTROTH 2011 concluded that Chilean L. reichei is a synonym of L. stolzmanni, and hence, that L. stolzmanni is a species endemic to Chile, not an element of the fauna of present-day Peru. However, Valladares-Faundez et al. 2018 revalidated reichei as a valid species.

Group: The Liolaemus reichei group includes L. auditvetulaus, balagueri, reichei, insolitus, poconchilensis, torresi, chiribaya, nazca, and anqapuka -- but not stolzmanni (HUAMANI-VALDERRAMA et al. 2020). Quiroz et al. 2021 provide a key to the reichei group of species. See VALLADARES-FAÚNDEZ et al. 2021 for a phylogenetic tree of the clade.

Distribution: see also L. stolzmanni. 
EtymologyNamed after Karl Friedrich Reiche (1860-1929), German botanist. (Esteban Lavilla, pers. comm., April 2024)
