Diagnosis	Diagnosis: Liolaemus yalguaraz is a slender, small Liolaemus belonging to the L. alticolor-bibronii group sensu Quinteros (2012, 2013). The character states that support the L. alticolor-bibronii group include small body (60 mm snout–vent length; SVL) and a distinct dorsal color pattern formed by dorsolateral stripes, paravertebral spots, and vertebral and ventrolateral lines. In some species, one of these character states may be absent. The species of the L. alticolor-bibronii group also have fine gray to black markings on the ventral surface of the tail and share a generally terrestrial lifestyle, with the exception of L. saxatilis and L. pagaburoi, which are saxicolous. Table 1 shows a comparison between L. yalguaraz and the phylogeneti- cally and geographically closest species of the L. alticolor- bibronii group.
