Liolaemus is a genus of iguanian lizards, containing many species, all of which are endemic to South America. Description Members of the genus Liolaemus form a dominant part of the lizard fauna of the southern part of the continent of South America, and vary considerably in size ( snout–vent length) and weight (). Geographic range Liolaemus species are found in the Andes and adjacent lowlands, from Peru to Tierra del Fuego, at altitudes that can exceed . Liolaemus magellanicus and Liolaemus sarmientoi are the world's southernmost reptiles, living as far south as Isla Granda de Tierra del Fuego and the northern shores of the Strait of Magellan respectively. Diet Most species of Liolaemus are omnivorous, but a few purely insectivorous and herbivorous species are known. Species There are more than 225 described species in the genus Liolaemus, but the true number of species may be about double this number. Liolaemus is by far the largest genus of the liolaemid lizards, which are traditionally treated as subfamily Liolaeminae within the Iguanidae but more recently were proposed for upranking to full family Liolaemidae. The following species are recognised: Liolaemus abaucan Liolaemus abdalai Liolaemus absconditus Liolaemus acostai Liolaemus albiceps Liolaemus alticolor Liolaemus andinus Liolaemus annectens Liolaemus anomalus Liolaemus anqapuka Huamaní-Valderrama, Quiroz, Gutiérrez, Aguilar-Kirigin, Chaparro & Abdala, 2020 Liolaemus antonietae Liolaemus antumalguen Liolaemus aparicioi Liolaemus arambarensis Liolaemus araucaniensis Liolaemus archeforus Liolaemus atacamensis Liolaemus audituvelatus Liolaemus aureum Liolaemus austromendocinus Liolaemus avilae Liolaemus azarai Liolaemus baguali Liolaemus balagueri Liolaemus balerion Liolaemus basadrei Liolaemus bellii Liolaemus bibronii Liolaemus bitaeniatus Liolaemus boulengeri Liolaemus brizuelai Liolaemus buergeri Liolaemus burmeisteri Liolaemus calchaqui Liolaemus calliston Liolaemus canqueli Liolaemus caparensis Liolaemus capillitas Liolaemus carlosgarini Liolaemus casamiquelai Liolaemus cazianiae Liolaemus chacabucoense Liolaemus chacoensis Liolaemus chaltin Liolaemus chavin Liolaemus chehuachekenk Liolaemus chiliensis Liolaemus chillanensis Liolaemus chiribaya Liolaemus chlorostictus Liolaemus chungara Liolaemus cinereus Liolaemus coeruleus Liolaemus confusus Liolaemus constanzae Liolaemus crandalli Liolaemus cranwelli Liolaemus crepuscularis Liolaemus cristiani Liolaemus curicensis Liolaemus curis Liolaemus cuyanus Liolaemus cuyumhue Liolaemus cyaneinotatus Liolaemus cyanogaster Liolaemus darwinii Liolaemus diaguita Liolaemus dicktracyi Liolaemus disjunctus Liolaemus ditadai Liolaemus donosobarrosi Liolaemus dorbignyi Liolaemus duellmani Liolaemus dumerili Liolaemus eleodori Liolaemus elongatus Liolaemus erguetae Liolaemus erroneus Liolaemus escarchadosi Liolaemus espinozai Liolaemus etheridgei Liolaemus evaristoi Liolaemus exploratorum Liolaemus fabiani Liolaemus famatinae Liolaemus fittkaui Liolaemus fitzgeraldi Liolaemus fitzingerii Liolaemus flavipiceus Liolaemus forsteri Liolaemus foxi Liolaemus frassinettii Liolaemus fuscus Liolaemus galactostictos Liolaemus gallardoi Liolaemus gardeli Liolaemus goetschi Liolaemus gracielae Liolaemus gracilis Liolaemus gravenhorstii Liolaemus griseus Liolaemus grosseorum Liolaemus gununakuna
