Liolaemus gravenhorstii, commonly known as Gravenhorst's tree iguana, is a species of lizard in the family Liolaemidae. The species is endemic to South America.
Etymology
The specific name, gravenhorstii, is in honor of German herpetologist Johann Ludwig Christian Gravenhorst.
Geographic range
As of 2023, L. gravenhorstii is found in central Chile and differs from the two populations reported by Cei and Videla (2001) for Argentina, which may belong to another species. In Chile, L. gravenhorstii has confirmed distribution records for the Región Metropolitana and potential records for the O’Higgins and Valparaíso regions.
