Abstract

Liolaemus pseudolemniscatus (Lamborot and Ortiz 1990) is a poorly known species. Two specimens were collected in “Cerro Provincia”, central Chile, expanding in 136 km (straight line) its latitudinal distribution and in 800 m its altitudinal distribution. This record adds a new species of Liolaemus lizard for the “Región Metropolitana”, Chile.
