Observations: Over the last two decades, a series of karyotypic studies conducted in different apparently isolated populations assigned to L. monticola have suggested that they might have experienced processes of genetic diversification ( Lamborot et al. 1979 , 1981 , 2003 ; Lamborot 1985 a , b, 1991, 1993 , 1998 , 2001 ; Lamborot & Eaton 1992 , 1997 ; Lamborot & Alvarez-Sarret 1993 ). Nevertheless, although karyological aspects have been explored thoroughly, additional detailed studies are needed to evaluate the impact of geographical barriers, such as rivers, in driving incipient differentiation in these lizard populations (Núñez & PincheiraDonoso 2006; see Lamborot & Eaton 1992 , 1997 ; Lamborot et al. 2003 for morphological information). Since it is not entirely clear whether all these studied populations are indeed L. monticola ( Pincheira-Donoso & Núñez 2005 ) , we do not refer most of these studies in the nomenclatural history of this taxon.
