Content: Two subspecies restricted to the Atacama Desert in northern Chile ( Donoso-Barros 1966a, 1970b; Cei 1993; Pincheira-Donoso & Núñez 2005; Pincheira-Donoso 2005). Although Liolaemus donosoi was recently resurrected as a subspecies of L. constanzae ( Pincheira-Donoso & Núñez 2005; see previous discussions in Núñez & Jaksic 1992; Etheridge & Espinoza 2000), it is still needed to evaluate with modern analytical procedures ( e.g. molecular variables) the status of these two taxa. Indeed, at this time, limited morphological data and their fully isolated geographical ranges (separated by the preandean Domeyko mountain chain; see Ramírez & Pincheira-Donoso 2005) are the only available evidence supporting the subspecific rank of these lizards.
