The taxonomic status of the poorly known Patagonian Lizard Liolaemus ruizleali has been revised according to its only extant holotype and paratypes. It is a composite species: the holotype and two paratypes belong to Liolaemus rothi Koslowsky, 1898, the other four paratypes to Liolaemus kingi somuncurae Cei and Scolaro, 1981. The synonymic list of these latter species is readjusted.Material digitalizado en SEDICI gracias a la colaboración del Dr. Jorge Williams (FCNM-UNLP).Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo
