%X we describe three new species of liolaemus from southern argentina. these new species belong to the monophyletic liolaemus elongatus group, included within thesubgenus liolaemus sensu stricto. two of the new species inhabits in southern mendoza province and the other one inhabits in central west r¨ªo negro province. the new species exhibit character states that distinguish they from all other members of the l. elongatus group. those character states include color pattern, number of scales in dorsum, shape of temporal scales, and size (among others). although with those new species we clarify the taxonomic status of several populations which belongs to the l. elongatus group, many remain unknown.
