To avoid misleading or controversial interpretations of the present taxonomic status of Liolaemus ruizleali Donoso Barros and Cei, 1971, the original description of its holotype is carefully compared with the morphological characters of Liolaemus rothi Koslowsky, 1898. No differences are shown by such a careful checking, thus the taxonomic status of Liolaemus ruizleali as a synonymous of Liolaemus rothi is again supported by unquestionable kinds of evidence.
