Popis: We used an enrichment and a sequence tagged microsatellite method (STM) to isolate 11 novel di and tri microsatellites for the high altitude living lizard Liolaemus leopardinus. These loci were trialled in 61 individuals from a single population. Seven loci conformed to Hardy–Weinberg expectations and were in linkage equilibrium. The 7 loci displayed intermediate levels of polymorphism exhibiting between 2 and 10 alleles per locus, with observed heterozygosity values ranging from 0.328 to 0.745. These markers will be useful in population level analyses and in the potential identification of complex social structure and parental care in this species.
