The specific name, puelche, is in honor of the aboriginal Puelche people, who live in Mendoza Province, Argentina. [3]
The preferred natural habitat of L. puelche is shrubland, at an altitude of 1,600 m (5,200 ft). [1]
Robust and medium-sized for its genus, L. puelche may attain snout-to-vent length (SVL) of almost 9 cm (3.5 in). [2]
L. puelche preys predominately on arthropods, but also eats some plant matter. [1]

The Gününa küna, or sometimes, Puelche are indigenous peoples living east of the Andes Mountains in Chile and Southwest Argentina. They spoke the Puelche language.
