DistributionC Chile

Type locality: International Road 115, below the Maule Lagoon. 36°1′0″S, 70°35′0″ E (paper says 19 H 358560 E–6018117 S) WGS84. 1915 m elevation.  
ReproductionProbably viviparous 
TypesHolotype: MNHNC (= MNHNCL) 4563. Male, collected by Carlos Garín. On February 22, 2008. Paratypes. MNHNCL-4562 and one used for diaphanisation, males; MNHNCL-4561, 4564, 4565, 4566, 4567, 4568 and one used for diaphanisation, females. Same collection data as the holotype. 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Small to medium sized lizard, with a mean SVL (Snout-Vent Length) of 60.7 mm and a maximum of 68.8 mm. Slender body, moderately robust limbs, head longer than wide, tail over 1.5 times body length, and 86- 101 scales around midbody. Background dorsal coloration is ochre, with a dark occipital stripe, parietal stripes as the background color, and lateral stripes the same coloration as the occipital stripe. Black spots distributed variably between the dorsal region of the head and limbs. Individual white scales scattered on the dorsal region of the body, and a clear and mottled ventral region. It can be distinguished from almost all of the species of the elongatus-kriegi complex by its extreme reduction of precloacal pores. None of the male samples, despite being only three, had these pores, and it seems that a very low frequency of males has them (C. Garín in. litt. 2011). Because the absence of precloacal pores is not absolute in this species, minimum diagnostic traits to distinguish it from all the species of the elongatus-kriegi complex are given.

CommentSynonymy: L. carlosgarini is not clearly differentiated by DNA sequences from L. smaug, but morphological differences have been detected among these taxa (Medina 2015, Medina et al. 2017). Troncoso-Palacios et al.2019 speculate that L. carlosgarini may be a hybrid generated from L. scorialis and L. smaug.

Sympatry: L. buergeri, L. flavipiceus, Phymaturus maulense (Núñez et al. 2010) and Pleurodema bufonina. 
EtymologyNamed after Carlos Garín, “who besides being a good friend, collected these specimens, and provided great assistance.”
