Observations: Núñez & Veloso (2001) provided the first record of L. multicolor from Chilean territory (Salar de Aguas Calientes, 4200 m, El Loa Province, Antofagasta Region). In later studies, Pincheira-Donoso (2005) and Pincheira-Donoso & Núñez (2005) cited the species for the northeastern high Andes of this country, following Núñez & Veloso (2001). Nevertheless, a recent reassessments of the only specimen studied by Núñez & Veloso (2001) suggests that it might be a subadult of L. andinus . In addition, field observations conducted in the populations recognized as L. multicolor by Pincheira-Donoso (2005) appear to support the idea that further analyses are needed to proof the existence of this species in Chile. Since available information as well as lizard samples are still limited, definitive conclusions are not possible at this time. Yet, the problem deserves to be reevaluated.
