  • Presence of the genus Ctenomys (Rodentia, Ctenomyidae) in northeastern Buenos Airesprovince, Argentina. The genus Ctenomys found at the locality of Lima, in the northeastern region of BuenosAires province, is reported in this paper. The finding of specimens of this genus is located more than 150 kilometersto the North of previous mentions for the province, being possible its adcription to C. talarum or to any otherspecies from the mesopotamian region of Argentina. Previous papers indicate the presence of fossil Ctenomys inseveral localities in northern Buenos Aires province, and suggest that the genus disappeared from this regionbefore the XIXth century. Thus, the record of living Ctenomys in northeastern Buenos Aires province providenew interesting clues about the biogeography of this genus in the area.
