Etymology

In 2019, three species of Liolaemus were described that were previously considered populations of Liolaemus bibronii . These three species are Liolaemus balerion , Liolaemus vhagar, and Liolaemus meraxes, each named after one of the three dragons that conquered Westeros with King Aegon I Targaryen from George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire .^[2]
