We report a new locality for the rodent  Chelemys megalonyx  in Rinconada de Maipú (Santiago, metropolitan region, central Chile), located in the central valley of Chile, in the eastern slope of the Chilean coastal range. Although the collected specimens show morphological similarities with other members of  Chelemys , some cranial and body measurements confirmed our identification. Despite extensive field effort in the central coast of Chile,  C. megalonyx  has been barely recorded. In light of previous evidence and our findings, we suggest that the  C. megalonyx  distribution range has been previously underestimated, limiting our understanding about its current conservation status. The presence of  C. megalonyx  in the central valley of Chile opens additional questions to be resolved regarding its distribution and ability for dispersal.
