Comment | PINCHEIRA-DONOSO & NÚÑEZ 2005 and PINCHEIRA-DONOSO et al. 2008 considered L. schmidti as a synonym of L. andinus, a decision that is rejected by LOBO et al. 2010. More recently, PINCHEIRA-DONOSO agreed that schmidti is a valid species (pers. comm., 23 May 2017). Distribution: not listed for Chile by Demangel 2016, apparently because he considered it as a synonym of something else. |
Etymology | Named after Karl Patterson Schmidt (1890-1957), American herpetologist (see Davis 1957 and RESETAR & VORIS 1997 for biographical notes). |
