Phymaturus manuelae — SCROCCHI et al. 2010: 182 
DistributionArgentina (Rio Negro)

Type locality: rocky outcrops (950 m elevation) adjacent to
National Road 23, 26 km west of Comallo, Rio Negro Province, Argentina [41° 1’ S, 70° 32’ W]  
Reproductionovovivparous 
TypesHolotype: MLP R. 5370, adult male. Collected by N.R. Ibargüengoytía, J.A. Scolaro and J. Gutiérrez, 20 December 2007. Paratypes: UNCo-PH 201, adult male; MLP-R. 5371, adult female; UNCo-PH 202, adult female. 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Phymaturus manuelae shows a noticeable polychromatism. However, as in other species of the genus, females appear to be bigger than males (Ibargüengoytía 2004). The new species is a member of the patagonicus group, distinguished from the palluma group in having flat imbricate superciliaries rather than being rectangular and non-overlapping; slightly spiny and non-rugose caudal scales in verticilles (as seen among members of the palluma group). However, it has also the subocular scale fragmented (into 2–4 scales; mode = 3) and separated from supralabials by two rows of lorilabials, as in most species of the palluma group, but not seen in the majority of members of the patagonicus group with some geographical exceptions. Phymaturus manuelae may be distinguished from other members of the patagonicus group in having a peculiar coloration.
 
CommentGroup: This species belongs to the patagonicus group (fide LOBO et al. 2010). However, P. manuelae cannot be unambiguously assigned to any group as phylogenetic analyses have placed it in different clades, dependent on genes and other data used (Lobo et al. 2018). However, Reaney et al. 2018 found manuelae to cluster with spurcus, spectabilis and sxcelsus. 
EtymologyThe species name “manuelae” is dedicated to Manuela Martínez the daughter of Nora Ibargüengoytía and Martín, who has accompanied her for most of her fieldwork and congresses since she was born.
