Liolaemus grosseorum is a species of lizard in the family Liolaemidae. [2] The species is endemic to Argentina.
The specific name, grosseorum (Latin, genitive, plural), is in honor of the family of Argentinian herpetologist Monique Halloy Grosse, who are her husband Constantino, and their children Ana and Paul. [3]
L. grosseorum is found in central Argentina in the provinces of La Pampa, Mendoza, Neuquén, and Río Negro. [1] [2]
The preferred natural habitats of L. grosseorum are shrubland and grassland, at altitudes of 250–1,500 m (820–4,920 ft). [1]
Small for its genus, L. grosseorum may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 5.5 cm (2.2 in). [2]
L. grosseorum has been considered to be a member of the L. boulengeri species group and the L. darwinii species group. [2]
