Abstract
A morphological comparison of two populations assigned to Orestias agassii from the Chilean Altiplano with the syntypes from Peru and Bolivia was performed. The results suggest that populations of Chile do not match the form of Peru (Titicaca- lake), nevertheless the Isluga population could be related to O. agassii of Bolivia.
