Comment | Group: kingii group. Hybridization: Liolaemus zullyae and Liolaemus scolaroi apparently hybridize in the wild fide Sánchez et al. 2024. Synonymy: Demangel (2016) suggested that Liolaemus scolaroi is a synonym of Liolaemus zullyae, which was rejected and rebutted by Scolaro et al. 2018 but confirmed by Sanchez et al. 2024. L. archeforus is genetically indistinguishable from L. zullyi but morphologically clearly distinguishable, so they appear to be 2 morphs of the same species (Sánchez et al. 2023). Distribution: Liolaemus scolaroi was erroneously omitted for Chile by Demangel 2016, but found there (D. Pincheira-Donoso, pers. comm., 23 May 2017). NCBI taxonID: 971281 [scolaroi] |
Etymology | Named after Mrs. Zully Ortega de Scolaro, the wife of the senior author, hence the name should be “zullyae”, not “zullyi”. |
