Abstract

Abstract. Uquiasaurus heptanodonta was originally described as an iguanian lizard from the Uquía Formation (Late Pliocene) of NW Argentina, known from numerous skull elements. Reexamination of preserved bones indicates the type series comprises more than one species belonging to the extant iguanian genus Liolaemus. The presence of a premaxilla with seven tooth positions among the bone assemblage suggests that species belonging to Liolaemus nigromaculatus group or Liolaemus montanus section have been present in this region up to the Late Pliocene (3.0 to 2.5 Ma), thus expanding the fossil record of the genus Liolaemus in the NW Argentina. Resumen. Uquiasaurus heptanodonta es un lagarto iguánido de la Formación Uquía (Plioceno Tardío) del noroeste de Argentina, conocido por numerosos elementos craneales. El reestudio de los elementos óseos conservados indica que la serie tipo comprende más de una especie perteneciente al género de lagartos iguánidos Liolaemus. La presencia de un premaxilar con siete posiciones dentarias entre el ensamble óseo sugiere que especies pertenecientes al grupo Liolaemus nigromaculatus o a la sección Liolaemus montanus han estado presentes en esta región desde el Plioceno Tardío (3,0 a 2,5 Ma), ampliando así el registro fósil del género Liolaemus en el noroeste de Argentina.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
