Liolaemus (Eulaemus) multicolor Pincheira-Donoso 2005: 135 ; Pincheira-Donoso & Núñez 2005: 161 . Observations: Núñez & Veloso (2001) provided the first record of L. multicolor from Chilean territory (Salar de Aguas Calientes, 4200 m , El Loa Province, Antofagasta Region ). In later studies, Pincheira-Donoso (2005) and Pincheira-Donoso & Núñez (2005) cited the species for the northeastern high Andes of this country, following Núñez & Veloso (2001) . Nevertheless, a recent reassessments of the only specimen studied by Núñez & Veloso (2001) suggests that it might be a subadult of L. andinus . In addition, field observations conducted in the populations recognized as L. multicolor by Pincheira-Donoso (2005) appear to support the idea that further analyses are needed to proof the existence of this species in Chile . Since available information as well as lizard samples are still limited, definitive conclusions are not possible at this time. Yet, the problem deserves to be reevaluated.
