A new species of the Liolaemus alticolor-bibronii group (Iguania: Liolaemidae) from East-central Argentina
We describe a new species of Liolaemus of the L. alticolor-bibronii group of the subgenus Liolaemus sensu stricto. We studied meristic, morphometric and qualitative pattern characters. Statistical tests were performed in order to evaluate morphological differences among the candidate species and the...
