A Reassessment of the Genus <i>Ctenoblepharis</i> (Reptilia, Sauria, Iguanidae) with a Description of a New Subspecies of <i>Liolaemus multimaculatus</i> from Western Argentina
A reassessment of the heterogeneous genus <i>Ctenoblepharis auctorum</i> is proposed, including the species <i>adspersus, stolzmanni, reichei</i> and probably <i>nigriceps</i>. <i>Phrynosaura</i> Werner, 1907, and <i>Helocephalus</i> Philip...

| Sumario: | A reassessment of the heterogeneous genus <i>Ctenoblepharis auctorum</i> is proposed, including the species <i>adspersus, stolzmanni, reichei</i> and probably <i>nigriceps</i>. <i>Phrynosaura</i> Werner, 1907, and <i>Helocephalus</i> Philippi, 1860, are synonyms of <i>Ctenoblepharis</i> Tschudi, 1845; <i>Ctenoblepharis anomalus, C. donosobarrosi, C. marmorata, C. schmidti</i> and <i>C. jamesi</i> are evolutionary lines of the polymorphic genus <i>Lioaemus</i>. A distinct psammophilous species group is made up by <i>Liolaemus rabinoi</i> (Cei), <i>Liolaemus multimaculatus multimaculatus</i> (Dumeril and Bibron) and <i>Liolaemus multimaculatus riojanus</i> subsp. nov. here described. Should these lizards be accorded a formal recognition, the generic name <i>Ortholaemus</i>, formerly used by Girard (1857), is available. A brief discussion of the disjunct distribution of the <i>rabinoi-multimaculatus</i> complex is presented. |
