A new species of the Andean-Patagonian Liolaemus elongatus-kriegi complex is described. The new species differs from all other members of the complex in the distinct coloration of the dorsum, a bright red-yellow belly, and other morphological traits. Liolaemus punmahuida is known from a small area in the Tromen Volcano in northwestern Patagonia above 3000 m.
