Liolaemus lonquimayensis (Squamata: Liolaemidae), a new lizard species for Chile without precloacal pores

This study describes a new species of lizard of the genus Liolaemus (L. lonquimayensis), without precloacal pores, associated with the lava flows of the Lonquimay volcano in the Región de la Araucanía, Chile. This species belongs to the elongatus clade, and is a sister lineage of L. elongatus. L. lo...
