Liolaemus (Eulaemus) olongasta — SCHULTE et al. 2000
Liolaemus olongasta — CAMARGO et al. 2012
Liolaemus olongasta — AVILA et al. 2021 
DistributionArgentina (San Juan, La Rioja)

Type locality: 51.3 km South of Villa Unión, Ruta Pcial, 26, Dpto Gral. Lavalle.  
ReproductionOviparous 
TypesHolotype: FML 2667 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Adult males of Liolaemus olongasta differ from all other specIes in the L. darwinii complex, except L. laurenti and L. darwinii in having intensly dark pigment within the antehumeral fold. From L. darwinii, L. koslowskyii, and L. abaucan, it differs in lacking dark, conspicuously enlarged prescapular and postscapular spots. From L. laurenti (and from all other members ofthe.co~plex), it differs in having a bold pattern of two dark bars separated by whIte pigment, extending out from the antehumeral fold onto the anterior surface of the forelimb (Etheridge 1993: 168). 
CommentMember of the darwinii group of Liolaemus. 
EtymologyNamed to honor the Olongasta tribe, an indigenous people who used to lIve along the border of San Juan and La Rioja provinces where this species occurs today.
