Source-derived summary

Liolaemus vhagar is a species of lizard in the family Liolaemidae. The species is endemic to Argentina.

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.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Liolaemus vhagar” as species of lizard. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical orientation to terminology and classification, particularly when read beside dated observations, specimens or technical literature. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2019—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Liolaemus, vhagar and Species can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as species of lizard. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q111169534. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2019.

Critical limits

Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
