Mammalia, Rodentia, Cricetidae, Tapecomys primus Anderson and Yates, 2000: new locality record

Tapecomys primus Anderson & Yates, 2000 is a species of rodent recorded only in the Yungas forests of Argentina and Bolivia. The original description was based on two specimens, an adult and a juvenile, from one locality in southern Bolivia (Tapecua, 1500 m, 21°26' S, 63°55' W, Department of Tarija). The second record for the species and first mention for Argentina was published recently by Barquez et al. (2006), based on a young specimen collected at “Finca Las Capillas, cercanías de Arroyo Los Matos y Ruta Provincial 20, 1200 m, 24o04' S, 65o08' O, Jujuy Province”. This rare genus was known until now, from these two localities and three specimens.
