Abstract (en):
The Bolivar Whorltail Iguana, Stenocercus bolivarensis, is only known in museum collections from six specimens collected in 1982 at its type locality "around Bolivar municipality in the department of Cauca, Colombia". After three decades of no records in other localities, herein we report a new record of the Bolivar Whorltail Iguana from Quindío department (Armenia municipality), also representing a significant distribution extension of 285 km North from previous records and represents a latitudinal extension of 2.5°. The newly introduced record of S. bolivarensis apparently belongs to an established population. Finally, we discuss the conservation implications of this rediscovery.

El lagarto collarejo de Bolívar, Stenocercus bolivarensis, sólo se conoce de seis especímenes de museos, colectados en 1982 en su localidad tipo "alrededor del municipio de Bolívar en el departamento del Cauca, Colombia". Después de tres décadas sin registros en otras localidades, se reporta en este documento un nuevo registro del lagarto collarejo de Bolívar para el departamento del Quindío (municipio de Armenia), que también constituye una extensión significativa en su distribución de 285 km al norte de los registros previos y representa una extensión latitudinal de 2,5 °. El nuevo registro de S. bolivarensis proviene de una población aparentemente establecida. Finalmente, se discute sobre las implicaciones para la conservación de este redescubrimiento.
