Liolaemus reichei (Werner, 1907) | |
Liolaemus reichei, Stolzmann's Pacific iguana or Stolzmann's lizard, is a species of lizard in the family Liolaemidae. [1] It is native to Peru and Chile.
Liolaemidae are a family of iguanian lizards. They were traditionally included in the family Iguanidae as subfamily Liolaeminae, which some more recent authors prefer to delimit in a more restricted way. A common name for this group is liolaemids. Liolaemidae are typically herbivores that have a diet high in fruit. Because of this special diet, Liolaemidae have a larger small intestine when compared to other similar omnivorous and insectivorous lizards.
Liolaemus is a genus of iguanian lizards, containing many species, all of which are endemic to South America.

Under the direction of Jean Baptiste Bory de Saint-Vincent (1778–1846), he took part in the Morea expedition to Peloponnese.
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. The name "Puelche" was not native, but was given to them by the Mapuche. They were annihilated by plagues and epidemics in the late 18th century, with survivors merging into other groups such as the Mapuche, Het, and Tehuelche.
