Ameivula abalosi is a species of teiid lizard found in Argentina and Paraguay.[2]
The unique combination of characteristics, such as the presence of five superciliary scales, a low number of femoral pores, and the presence of erect thorn-like scales along the lower half of the calf in males, distinguishes Ameivula abalosi from the other species in the Ameivula genus.[3]
