The stomachs of 109 parthenogenetic lizards of the genus Teius of the Valley of Punilla, Córdoba, Argentina, were analized to evaluate the composition and seasonal variation during the summers of 1988189 and 1989190. After the analysis, diet categories were established and frequency, volumen and the number of items consumed. The IR., Relative Index of Importance (Pinkas et al., 1971) was used and the Termites, Beetles, Larvae, and Grasshoppers were the principal components of the diet .
