Aunque no se conoce la procedencia exacta de los especímenes, se sabe que Stolzmann realizo varias colectas en el sur de Ecuador y en el norte de Perú, lugares en los que a la fecha no se ha demostrado la presencia de especies de la familia Liolaemidae. Posteriormente, Donoso-Barros (1966) confundió a una de las especies de la cordillera de Antofagasta con Ctenoblepharis stolzmanni , quedando dichas poblaciones bajo esa denominación hasta que Langstroth (2011) rectifico dicha situación demostrado que las poblaciones confundidas con C. stolzmanni por Donoso-Barros (1966) corresponden en realidad a Liolaemus pachecoi , descrito por Laurent (1995). Langstroth (2011) propuso que la morfología de los especímenes tipo de Ctenoblepharis stolzmanni se corresponde con la de Liolaemus reichei (Werner 1907) de Iquique y que por lo tanto esta última es un sinónimo menor de la primera. La discrepancia entre ambas localidades tipo fue justificada por Langstroth (2011) asumiendo que algún colector le habría enviado a Stolzmann especímenes desde Iquique como regalo o este los habría comprado.

A significant relationship between escape behaviour and habitat structure occupation was found; lizards that occupied tree trunks and open ground ran longer distances from predators and were found greater distances from shelter. Behavioural strategies used by these lizards in open habitats appear to have made unnecessary the evolution of limb morphology that has occurred in other lizards from other clades that are found in open settings.

We describe a new sexually monomorphic species of the “Phymaturus patagonicus” group, called Phymaturus katenke. It lives at about 800 m altitude on basaltic outcrops, in the central steppe of Chubut Province, Argentina. Here, we morphologically compared individuals of the studied population with the phylogenetically related and geographically neighbouring congenerics from the “patagonicus” group. Its distribution and natural history are pointed out. Key words: Argentina, Muchagua´s Lizard, Patagonian steppe, reptiles, rock-dwelling lizards, South America. Introduction Koslowsky 1898 (genetic distance [GD] = 2.6%), and to P. spurcus (GD = 2.12–2.17%) (Corbalán et al. 2016). GD dis- The genus Phymaturus comprises herbivorous, viviparous tances between P. sp. 1 and geographically close species and saxicolous species found in Argentina and Chile. Until such as P. camilae Scolaro et al.
