Liolaemus rabinoi, commonly known as Rabino's tree iguana, is a species of lizard in the family Iguanidae or the family Liolaemidae. The species is endemic to Argentina.[2]

Etymology[edit]

Both the specific name, rabinoi, and the common name, Rabino's tree iguana, are in honor of "M. Rabino" who was the collector of the holotype.[3]
