[EN] Oviparity is the most widespread reproductive mode among reptiles. The South American genus Liolaemus contains both oviparous and viviparous species, the latter generally dominating at high latitudes and high elevations. We report for the first time evidence suggesting oviparity in Liolaemus variegatus, an Andean lizard endemic to Bolivia. We record its presence at elevations up to 4,200m on the Cordillera de Tiraque, which is among the highest localities for oviparous lizards in the world. We characterize the content of oviductal and aborted eggs and the structure of the shell of aborted eggs. Eggshell is 66.7μm thick and is composed of an outer calcareous layer, a thick fibrous mesh, and an inner boundary. The most a...
