Nearly 90% of the specimens are lizards, and of these, most are Liolaemus , the most diversified member of the Chilean herpetofauna. The specimens of Liolaemus derive mainly from "central Chile", i.e., the area between the city of La Serena and the Biobio River. Both northern and southern Chile are relatively unexplored; thus, the taxonomy and composition of these herpetof aunas is less well known. The distribution of Chilean lizards and snakes has not received much attention (however, see Valencia & Velosa 1981, Velosa & Navarro 1988) beyond the general information provided by Peters & Donoso-Barros (1970) and Donoso-Barros (1966, 1970). The latter do not provide sufficient information to define the exact ranges, especially lacking altitudinal data, and such data are critical for Chile, which is a narrow country bordered on the east by mountains and a complex system of ridges and valleys with numerous isolated populations of lizards and snakes. Accurate distributional data are essential in clarifying biogeographical problems, ecological consequences of human intervention, and physiological aspects of latitudinal and altitudinal adaptations. Since the MNHNC collection has 76 species of lizards and snakes, representing about 75% of Chilean species, the distributional data of these specimens provide a good baseline for such investigations. My goal has been to provide accurate locality data for the Chilean species of lizards and snakes vouchered by one or more MNHNC specimens. Uncertainties of taxonomy or locality are indicated by numbers in parentheses; these items are discussed at end of the taxonomic section. Taxa are listed alphabetically by family, genus, species, and finally by locality. Some localities are too small to appear in the Indice de Nombres Geograficos de Chile (Instituto Geografico Militar, no date) or in the Ruiso Patrdn Index (1942). Similar problems arise when the locality data are too broad (e.g., Magallanes) ; in these cases, I mark the data with sensu lato and report only the administrative region. Latitude and longitude are south and west, respectively, and the first two digits are degrees, the second two are minutes. Altitude is in meters above sea level. The final column provides a major city, town, or other geographic entity near to the specimen's origin. Chile contains a Metropolitan Region (RM) and twelve administrative regions: Primera Regi6n, Tarapaca; Segunda Reg., Antof agasta ; Tercera Reg., Atacama ; Cuarta Reg., Coquimbo; Quinta Reg., Aconcagua; Sexta Reg., Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins; Septima Reg., Maule; Octava Reg., Biobio; Novena Reg., Araucania; Decima Reg., Los Lagos; Decimo Primera Reg., General Carlos Ibanez del Campo; Decimo Segunda Reg., Magallanes y Antartica Chilena. These regions are identified by number in the Reg. column.

  • Sources of Pheromones in the Lizard Liolaemus Tenuis
    Revista Chilena de Historia Natural 75: 141-147, 1412002 Sources of pheromones in the lizard Liolaemus tenuis Fuentes de feromonas en el lagarto Liolaemus tenuis ANTONIETA LABRA1, CARLOS A. ESCOBAR2, PAZ M. AGUILAR3 & HERMANN M. NIEMEYER3 1Departamento de Ecología, Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas, P. Universidad Católica de Chile, Casilla 114-D, Santiago, 6513677, Chile; e-mail: [email protected] 2Facultad de Ecología y Recursos Naturales, Universidad Nacional Andrés Bello, Avenida República 217, Santiago, Chile 3Departamento de Ciencias Ecológicas, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad de Chile, Casilla 653, Santiago, Chile ABSTRACT Experimental tests were conducted with the lizard Liolaemus tenuis (Tropiduridae), to determine the potential sources of pheromones used in its chemical communication, centered in the phenomenon of self-recognition. During the post- reproductive season, feces of both sexes and secretions of precloacal pores (present only in males) were tested. Stimuli were presented to lizards spread on rocks, and the number of tongue-flicks (TF) to the rocks was used as a bioassay to determine pheromone recognition. Feces contained pheromones involved in self-recognition, since lizards showed less TF confronted to rocks with suspensions of their own feces than with suspensions of feces of conspecifics or with water (control). In order to assess the chemical nature of self-recognition pheromones, feces were submitted to a sequential extraction with three solvents of increasing polarity, thereby obtaining three feces fractions. There were no differences in TF towards rocks with different fractions with own feces. Additionally, lizards showed similar TF to rocks with fractions of own and conspecific feces, suggesting that the separation procedure broke up a complex stimulus into parts that were not active individually as pheromones.

  • Sexual and Geographic Variation of Color Patterns in Liolaemus Tenuis (Squamata, Liolaeminae)

Box 1066 Blindern, N-0316 Oslo, Norway. *Corresponding author: M.A. Vidal. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT We studied sexual and geographic variation of color patterns in the lizard Liolaemus tenuis. We counted the number of scales with different colors in two body regions, in individuals of both sexes, from three groups of populations along a latitudinal range. Color patterns showed sexual and geographic variations; females and the northern group were the darkest. The selective pressures of these color pattern variations are unclear. However, considering that L. tenuis males are territorial and polygamous, we postulate that sexual variation in color would be consequence of sexual selection involving female choice and male-male interactions (e.g. agonistic displays among males). Geographic variation may be determined by predation pressure, as there is a tendency to a color matching with the predominant color of the environment (i.e. predominance of dark colors towards scrublands). KEYWORDS: Chromatophores, sexual dimorphism, lizard, Liolaemus, Chile. RESUMEN Se estudió la variación sexual y geográfica de los patrones de coloración en Liolaemus tenuis. Se contó el número de escamas con diferentes colores en dos regiones del cuerpo, en individuos de ambos sexos y provenientes de tres grupos de poblaciones a lo largo de un gradiente latitudinal.

Urra ([email protected]) Academic editor: Silke Schweiger ♦ Received 2 June 2019 ♦ Accepted 29 August 2019 ♦ Published 10 September 2019 Abstract The long-tailed snake Philodryas chamissonis is an oviparous rear-fanged species endemic to Chile, whose reproductive biology is currently based on anecdotic reports. The characteristics of the eggs, incubation time, and hatching are still unknown. This work describes for the first time the oviposition of 16 eggs by a female in captivity at Zoológico Nacional in Chile. After an incubation period of 59 days, seven neonates were born. We recorded data of biometry and ecdysis of these neonates for 9 months. In addition, a review about parameters of egg incubation and hatching for Philodryas species is provided. Key Words Chile, colubrids, eggs, hatching, oviposition, rear-fanged snake, reproduction Introduction Philodryas is a genus composed of twenty-three ovipa- especially P. aestiva (Fowler and Salomão 1995; Fowl- rous species widely distributed in South America (Grazzi- er et al. 1998), P. nattereri (Fowler and Salomão 1995; otinet al.

  • Comentarios Sobre El Enigmático Liolaemus Melanopleurus (Philippi
    N°14, Julio 2012 La Chiricoca Comentarios sobre el enigmático Liolaemus melanopleurus (Philippi 1860) a 152 años de su descripción por Jaime Troncoso-Palacios Desierto de Atacama, foto Frank Stewart P á gin a 3 N°14, Julio 2012 La Chiricoca L iolaemus melanopleurus (Philippi 1860) es una especie descrita por el destacado naturalista y médico alemán don Rodulfo Amando Philippi en base a tres especímenes. Dos se encuentran depositados en el Museo Nacional de His- toria Natural y uno está depositado en la colección del Field Museum of Chicago. Todos los ejemplares fueron colectados por Philippi durante su viaje por el desierto de Atacama, efectuado entre los años 1853 y 1854. Después de esto, la especie no ha vuelto a ser encontrada. En este trabajo se publican por primera vez fotografías a color de los tres especímenes conocidos, se detalla su his- toria taxonómica y se discuten sus relaciones con L. platei y L. maldonadae. Además, hemos adaptado el mapa origi- nal de Philippi (1860), a <n de recalcar las localidades que el explorador recorrió. Esperamos que al presentar este estudio en La Chiricoca se permita la amplia difusión de esta información entre los miembros de la Red de Observadores de Aves y Vida Sil- vestre de Chile (ROC), a <n de facilitar una posible identi- <cación en terreno. El descubrimiento de Liolaemus melanopleurus (Philippi, 1860) El principal problema con esta especie, es que lamentable- mente Philippi (1860) no menciona la localidad de colec- ta en la descripción. Philippi realizó su viaje al desierto de Atacama partiendo desde el puerto de Coquimbo para luego recorrer parte de las actuales Regiones de Atacama y de Antofagasta.
