Two new Subspecies of the <i>Liolaemus fitzingeri</i> Complex from Argentina

Liolaemus fitzingeri cuyanus n. subsp. from sandy regions north of the Río Colorado (Argentina) and L. fitzingeri xanthoviridis n. subsp. from coastal range of Chubut (Argentina) are described. The former is easily distinguishable from other known forms of the group by a lower number of dorsal scales, lack of ventral melanism and the presence of a distinct black antehumeral band. L. fitzingeri xanthoviridis is distinguishable from its nearest relative L. fitzingeri canqueli by shorter limbs, more distinctly keeled dorsal scales, anterior margin of ear with smaller non-proyecting scales, and different color pattern.Material digitalizado en SEDICI gracias a la colaboración del Dr. Jorge Williams (FCNM-UNLP).Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Muse
