Liolaemus forsteri View in CoL clade

This clade includes three terminals: L. forsteri , L. aff. forsteri 1 and L. aff. forsteri 2 ( Fig. 3 View Figure 3 ). They are large lizards (maximal SVL = 95 mm), with weakly keeled subimbricate dorsal scales and large, red to yellow blotches on the dorsum of the torso. The L forsteri clade is distributed in southern Peru and northern Andean Bolivia ( Fig. 6 View Figure 6 ) and is supported by three continuous characters, four discrete characters and three coloration characters (Supporting Information, Table S1). Half of the analyses recovered the following relationships: ( L. aff. multiformis ( L. forsteri ( L. aff. forsteri 1 + L. aff. forsteri 2))). This clade was placed as sister to either the L. ortizi clade (K = 16–22) or the L. jamesi clade (K = 7–15).
