Abstract
A combined analysis of 523 bp and 402 bp sequences of the mitochondrial 16S and 12S rRNA genes, respectively, suggests Mabuya frenata cochabambae bein g regarded a full species, M. cochabambae Dunn, 1935. It is phylogeneticall y closely related to M. dorsivittata rather than to M. frenata. Mabuya coch abambae is only known from inner-Andean dry valleys of central Bolivia, Dep artments Cochabamba and Santa Cruz, at elevations of 1300-3800 m above sea level.
