The specific name, puelche, is in honor of the aboriginal Puelche people, who live in Mendoza Province, Argentina.[3]

Robust and medium-sized for its genus, L. puelche may attain snout-to-vent length (SVL) of almost 9 cm (3.5 in).[2]
L. puelche preys predominately on arthropods, but also eats some plant matter.[1]
