Liolaemus robustus View in CoL clade

This clade consists of ( Liolaemus williamsi Laurent, 1992 + Liolaemus melanogaster Laurent, 1998 ) + ( Liolaemus polystictus Laurent, 1992 + Liolaemus robustus Laurent, 1992 ) ( Fig. 3 View Figure 3 ). They are medium to large lizards (maximal SVL = 80–95 mm), with subimbricate smooth to weakly keeled dorsal scales on the body. The males are generally of a chestnut colour, with a tendency towards melanism of the pileus. The L. robustus clade is distributed in central Peru ( Fig. 6 View Figure 6 ) and is supported by three continuous characters, one discrete character and five molecular characters (Supporting Information, Table S1). The composition of this group was recovered in all hypotheses obtained, except where K = 3–8, where it was united with the L. huacahuasicus clade.
