Common Names 
SynonymLiolaemus punmahuida AVILA, PEREZ & MORANDO 2003 
DistributionArgentina (Neuquén), elevations > 2900 m.

Type locality: adult male from Tromen Volcano, Chos Malal
Department, Neuquén, Argentina (37° 06’ S, 70° 08’ W, 3000 m elevation).  
Reproductionviviparous (not imputed, fide Zimin et al. 2022) 
TypesHolotype: FML 11958 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Liolaemus punmahuida can be distinguished from all other members of the L. elongatus-kriegi complex, with the exception of L. kriegi, by the brightly red/yellow ventral coloration from the insertion of the forelimbs to the tip of the tail in both sexes, the white/ cream coloration on the sides of the head, and the distinctive black line between orbit and nasal scales. Members of the L. elongatus/kriegi complex have some kind of ventral coloration, but, in general, this is restricted to the precloacal, cloacal, and adjacent femoral, tail, or belly areas. The species also can be distinguished from all other members of the L. elongatus-kriegi complex, except L. thermarum and some individuals of L. capillitas, by the absent of precloacal pores. Liolaemus elongatus, L. petrophilus, and L. capillitas have dorsal scales that are more distinctly keeled and imbricate than those of L. punmahuida (after AVILA et al. 2003).
