The state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, has revealed an important paleontological potential of Quaternary deposits, especially because of the fossil richness in caves and rivers of the Serra da Bodoquena region. This study presents new taxonomic data of specimens collected from a new fossiliferous locality of the Pleistocene megafauna in this region, the Miranda River (Miranda, MS). Among the material that has been identified are fossil remains of Megatheriidae, Mylodontidae, Glyptodontinae, Pampatheriidae and Toxodontidae. It is important to mention the novel occurrence of the Pampatheriidae Holmesina , which fills a paleobiogeographic gap in South America.
