An update of the taxonomy, systematics, and distribution of the mammals of Salta Province, Argentina

Abstract

The taxonomy, systematics, and distribution of the mammals of Salta Province, Argentina are updated. The fauna includes 9 orders, 29 families, 96 genera, and 141 species. A checklist of the extant species and species of probable occurrence is included, as is a gazetteer of localities. We review the literature published since the publication of Mares et al. (1981a) and Ojeda and Mares (1989), and include new collecting localities.

2 DÍAZ, BRAUN, MARES, AND BARQUEZ OCCASIONAL PAPERS
Salta Province, in far northwestern Argentina,
is a political unit that includes a region of great
geographic and biological complexity. The prov-
ince is bounded on the northeast by Paraguay, on
the north by Bolivia, and on the west by Chile. It
sits astride the Tropic of Capricorn and extends
from the high Andes (with peaks reaching 6,723
m) in the west, to the low, flat plain of the cha-
coan thorn scrub in the east at about 400 m. It
abuts several Argentine provinces, including For-
mosa, Chaco, and Santiago del Estero in the east,
and Tucumán and Catamarca in the south, and
Jujuy to the north. The province is about the size
of the State of Iowa (at 155,488 km
2
), and larger
than the states of New York or Pennsylvania. It
supports a wide array of habitats, from arid, high-
elevation, puna desert and montane grasslands in
the west, to montane rain forest in central por-
tions, to semiarid thorn scrub in the east, and arid
Monte Desert in the south; it also has a diverse
mix of ecotonal habitats. For further descriptions
of the climate, geography, and vegetation see
Ojeda and Mares (1989). Salta Province has a rich
diversity of mammals (and other biota). Since
Salta is dissected by Andean and pre-Andean
mountains, habitats may change greatly over very
short distances. For example, over a distance of
only 150 km, habitats may change from lowland
wet forest, with tapirs, monkeys, agoutis, and
otters, to lowland desert, with saguaro-like cardón
cacti, desert rodents, and armadillos.
For many years, research on the mammals of
Salta was largely limited to the anecdotal
accounts of early collectors and explorers, or the
collections of mammals made by Emilio Budin
for Oldfield Thomas of the British Museum of
Natural History in the early 1900s. Budin’s speci-
mens resulted in a large number of new taxa
being described by Thomas (e.g., Salta Province
has four type localities for mammals, including
type genera and species) (e.g., Thomas 1897,
1918). In the early 1970s, Mares began mammal
research in the province, and field research has
continued sporadically by him, his students, and
colleagues through the 1990s.
The first report summarizing these data was by
Mares et al. (1981a) and was limited to a descrip-
tion of animals that had been collected in Salta in
the 1970s. A field guide to the mammals of Salta
(Mares et al. 1989) and a biogeographic analysis
of the mammals of the province (Ojeda and
Mares 1989) included information on species that
had been collected by the authors, specimens in
several major museums, and reports of species
from the literature. However, there has been a
great deal of research on mammals in Argentina
and neighboring countries since most of the pub-
lished information on the province’s mammals
was gathered in the 1970s and early 1980s. Taxo-
nomic revisions (e.g., Barquez et al. 1999a;
Musser et al. 1998; Myers 1989; Myers et al.
1990), new information from field research by
Mares and his collaborators, as well as by other
mammalogists, and information in museum col-
lections that had not been included in earlier
reports, have permitted a reexamination of the
mammals of the province. Only three other prov-
inces in Argentina have had their mammals
reviewed in a systematic manner (Tucumán:
Mares et al. 1996; Catamarca: Mares et al. 1997;
and Jujuy: Díaz 1999). All of these provinces bor-
der Salta, and the fact that updated taxonomic
information is available for neighboring provinces
and adjacent countries (e.g., Bolivia; Anderson
1997) makes the outdated published information
for Salta problematic and difficult to compare
with more recent information. Salta is one of the
better-studied areas for mammals in South Amer-
ica thus an updating of the mammals of the prov-
ince is warranted.
In this report we provide information on spe-
cies that have not heretofore been reported from
the province, as well as new information on distri-
butions for many of Salta’s mammals. We also
clarify and update the current taxonomic status of
each species, and provide updated information on
collecting localities for many species. Finally, we
provide a checklist and an updated gazetteer to all
species of mammals known to occur in Salta Prov-
ince.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Changes to the preliminary list of mammals
presented by Mares et al. (1981a), the biogeo-
graphic analysis of the mammals (Ojeda and
Mares 1989), the field guide to the mammals
(Mares et al. 1989) are presented. These changes
include those in nomenclature and taxonomy.
Corrections also were made for locality informa-
tion and identifications.
Nomenclature follows Wilson and Reeder
(1993), with the following exceptions. We follow
Anderson (1997) and Palma and Yates (1998) in
recognizing Thylamys venustus and the restric-
tion of T. elegans to Chile; and Flores et al. (2000)
in recognizing T. cinderella and T. sponsoria for
northwestern Argentina. We recognize Dasypus
yepesi following Vizcaíno (1995). Sturnira opo-

Number 10 SALTA MAMMALS 3
raphilum is used instead of S. bogotensis (Bar-
quez et al. 1999a). Dasypterus is recognized as a
genus distinct from Lasiurus (Barquez et al.
1999a). Lasiurus blossevillii (Baker et al. 1988;
Morales and Bickham 1995) is used for the South
American red bats. We follow Barquez et al.
(1999a) in the use of Cynomops, instead of
Molossops for the species abrasus and planiros-
tris. Eumops patagonicus is recognized as distinct
from E. bonariensis (Barquez et al. 1999a). We
follow the revision of Garcia-Perea (1994) in rec-
ognizing the genus Lynchailurus and recognize
only L. pajeros in Argentina. We follow Zunino et
al. (1995) in the use of Lycalopex and in recogniz-
ing griseus as a synonym of gymnocercus. Abroth-
rix is considered a genus distinct from Akodon
following McKenna and Bell (1998). Akodon per-
valens is considered distinct from A. sylvanus fol-
lowing Myers (1989) and Anderson (1997).
Calomys venustus is distinct from C. callosus.
Oryzomys russatus is used instead of O. legatus
following Musser et al. (1998). Following Steppan
(1995), we recognize Phyllotis xanthopygus as
occurring in the province and not P. darwini.

The Accounts of Species include the order,
family, scientific name, and authority. The Speci-
mens examined is the list of new specimens that
we have personally examined since the publica-
tion of the earlier works. These include speci-
mens collected by others or us in field surveys
since about 1984 and specimens in museum col-
lections that were not included in the earlier pub-
lications. The Additional records include
specimen information taken from the scientific
literature (including the earlier publications),
specimens in museums that were not examined
by us, personal communications, and personal
observations. In the Remarks, we present clarifi-
cations of locality information, identification, or
taxonomy.
The Gazetteer lists the localities for specimens
cited in the text and the coordinates of south lati-
tude and west longitude in degrees and minutes.
Coordinates were obtained from Gazetteer No.
103 (Argentina), United States Board of Geo-
graphic Names prepared in the Office of Geogra-
phy, Department of the Interior, Washington, D.
C. (Anonymous 1968) and used in conjunction
with various maps. Localities are presented as
they appeared in or on the original text or label.
Maps of Salta Province published by the
Automóvil Club Argentino, the series of
1:500,000 provincial maps published by the Ejér-
cito Argentino, Instituto Geográfico Militar in
1957 (Nos. 2166, 2363, 2366, and 2563), 1960
(No. 2566) and 1964 (No. 2569), and 1:250,000
maps of the province published by the Ejército
Argentino, Instituto Geográfico Militar in 1976
(Nos. 2363-III and 2563-III) were used to plot
localities.
The Checklist lists those orders, families, gen-
era, and species that are known to occur in the
province. We also have listed those taxa of proba-
ble occurrence based on Mares et al. (1981a),
Mares et al. (1989), Ojeda and Mares (1989), and
Anderson (1997).

Thylamys pallidior (Thomas)
Specimens examined (5).—Inca Mayo, 1
(BMNH 34.11.4.186); M. Solá, 4 (BMNH

al. 1981a, as Marmosa pusilla; Ojeda and Mares
1989, as Marmosa pusilla); 30 km E Cachi, 2600
m (Mares and Braun 2000).
Remarks.—Only one taxon was recognized by
Mares et al. (1981a, 1989) and Ojeda and Mares
(1989) as occurring in the province—Marmosa
pusilla. As with T. venustus, T. pallidior and T.
pusilla were separated from the genus Marmosa
and placed in a distinct genus. Originally
described as separate taxa, T. pallidior and T.
pusilla were placed in synonymy. T. pallidior and
T. pusilla now are recognized as distinct based on
the shape of the interorbital region, distribution,
and habitat.
There is some question regarding the distribu-
tions of T. pallidior and T. pusilla in Argentina.
Palma and Yates (1998) proposed that T. pallidior
is distributed in the prepuna and puna on the
eastern side of the Andes, while the distribution
of T. pusilla extends from southeastern Bolivia,
western Paraguay, southward through the Monte
Desert and Chaco to about 35° S lat. Our exami-
nation of Argentine specimens suggests that pal-

Number 10 SALTA MAMMALS 5
lidior is found in the monte, prepuna, and puna,
while pusilla is found in the chaco (Mares and
Braun 2000). We base our identifications using
external and cranial morphology following Tate
(1933): T. pallidior has supraorbital ridges that
are smooth and rounded, and a postorbital con-
striction that is little pronounced; T. pusilla has
beaded supraorbital ridges that continue posteri-
orly and that merge with the temporal ridges on
the braincase, a pronounced postorbital constric-
tion, and generally has a longer tail, and a larger
head and body, hindfoot, and ear.
Although this question pertains little to Thy-
lamys collected in Salta Province, we wish to
emphasize that the systematics of these two taxa
in Argentina require further investigation.
Thylamys pusilla (Desmarest)

mosa pusilla; 90 km NNW of Tucumán (Tate
1933, as Marmosa pallidior).
Remarks.—See taxonomic comments under T.
pallidior regarding the recognition of T. pallidior
and T. pusilla. The locality of 5 km S of Tolloche,
on La Viñita Rd. (Mares et al. 1981a) should be
corrected to 5 km S of Tolloche, on Vinalito Rd.
Thylamys sp.
Additional records.—24 km NW Agua Blanca
(Mares and Braun 2000, as Thylamys venustus);

Remarks.—The specimens noted above were
listed as Thylamys elegans or Thylamys venustus.
Due to recent changes in the systematics of this
genus in northwestern Argentina (e.g., Flores et

rectly by Ojeda and Mares (1989:29) in the spe-

Dasypus septemcinctus Linnaeus
Additional records.—Tabacal (Ojeda and
Mares 1989; Wetzel and Mondolfi 1979).
Remarks.—Mares et al. (1981a, 1989) listed
this species for the province; specimen records
were not given.
Dasypus yepesi Vizcaíno
Specimens examined (1).—Quebrada de
Acambuco, 5 km del Dique Itiyuro, Carapary, 1
(CML 315).
Additional records.—San Andrés, 1800 m
(Vizcaíno 1995; type locality).
Remarks.—Ojeda and Mares (1989) identified
the specimen from “Quebrada de Acambuco”
(site 102) as D. novemcinctus. This is the same
specimen as that listed above. Mares et al. (1981a,
1989) and Ojeda and Mares (1989) had listed
Dasypus hybridus as probable for the province,
however D. hybridus now is known not to occur
in the province.
Vizcaíno (1995) examined the systematics of
the genus Dasypus in northwestern Argentina to
resolve the status of D. mazzai. He reconfirmed
that the holotype of D. mazzai was a young D.
novemcinctus. The paratype, of unknown locality,
was placed in a new species D. yepesi. The distri-
bution includes forested areas of the provinces of
Salta and Jujuy.

Holochilus chacarius Thomas
Specimens examined (17).—Finca Abra
Grande, Quebrada de Tartagal, 1 (OMNH
18634); Río Pescado Chico, 1 (CML 2197); San
Martín del Tabacal, 10 (CML 2270-2279); Taba-
cal, 5 (1675-1677, 2367, 2368).
Additional records.—Juntas de San Antonio

Mares 1989, as H. brasiliensis); Río Pescado
(Ojeda and Mares 1989, as H. brasiliensis); 6 km
SW Santa Victoria, at “El Breal” (extreme NE
Salta) (Mares et al. 1981a, as H. brasiliensis); 6
km SW Santa Victoria E, at “El Breal” (Ojeda and
Mares 1989, as H. brasiliensis); Tabacal (Ojeda
and Mares 1989, as H. brasiliensis; TTU 33039
not examined as H. brasiliensis balnearum).
Remarks.—We have chosen to follow Wilson
and Reeder (1993) in identifying specimens from
the province as this species. The distribution
given by Wilson and Reeder (1993) should
include northwestern Argentina, as the type local-
ity for balnearum is in Tucumán Province. We
recognize, however, that this genus is in need of a
revision, that more than one species may be
present in the province, and that this may not be
the appropriate species assignment.
Mares et al. (1989) listed this species for the
province; specimen records were not given.
According to Hershkovitz (1955) the specimens
of H. chacarius Thomas (1906) from El Tabacal
are H. b. vulpinus. He (Hershkovitz 1955) also
cited this species as H. brasiliensis balnearum
(including H. chacarius, Llanos 1944) for Salta
province, but did not provide a specific locality.

sis; specimen records were not given.
Oligoryzomys destructor (Tschudi)
Specimens examined (2).—El Desmonte,
Metán, 1 (BMNH 34.11.4.26); Río de las Con-
chas, 2 km al N y 6 km al W de Metán, 1027 m, 1
(PIDBA 720).
Additional records.—Orán (Ojeda and Mares
1989, as Oryzomys longicaudatus); Río Pescado
(Ojeda and Mares 1989, as Oryzomys longicauda-
tus).
Remarks.—Mares et al. (1989) listed this spe-
cies for the province, but as Oryzomys longicau-
datus; specimen records were not given. These
specimens may be either O. longicaudatus or O.
destructor. As this group needs further research,
we have listed this specimen as this taxon.
Oligoryzomys flavescens (Waterhouse)
Additional records.—24 km NW Agua Blanca

Oligoryzomys nigripes (Olfers)
Specimens examined (1).—Quebrada de Tarta-
gal, Finca Abra Grande, 1 (OMNH 18652).
Remarks.—Mares et al. (1981a) listed this spe-
cies for the province, but as Oryzomys nigripes.
However, most of the specimens that they have
been found to be either O. chacoensis or O. flave-
scens. Carleton and Musser (1989) and Wilson
and Reeder (1993) did not include northwestern
Argentina in the distribution of O. nigripes. This
specimen cited above is the only record of O.
nigripes known for the province.

data and C. lanigera occur in Argentina, includ-
ing the possibility that both could be found in
Salta Province. That C. lanigera might occur in
Argentina is based on the publications of Holm-
berg (1895) and Holmberg (1900).

DISCUSSION
Salta Province continues to be one of the more
fascinating regions in South America. The pro-
nounced climatological, topographic, and floristic
diversity of the area is matched by a high diversity
of mammals. Our data now include 9 orders, 29
families, 96 genera, and 141 species of mammals
that are known to occur (or have recently
occurred) within the provincial boundaries. This
differs from the numbers reported by Mares et al.
(1981a), in the first published listing of mammals
for Salta. Indeed, 49 additional genera and 9
additional families have been recorded for the
province in the intervening 17 years of field
research by a small group of mammalogists. Some
of the changes noted between this publication
and the 1981 paper were the result of taxonomic
changes that have occurred over this period of
time, but others were based on new specimens
being collected, thus expanding the list of taxa
recorded for Salta.
There are several additional species that are
likely to be found in the province, for they have
been collected within very short distances of the
provincial boundaries. Below we discuss these
species and their inclusion as species of probable
occurrence.
We list as of probable occurrence for the prov-
ince Monodelphis domestica. This species is
known from the Departamento Tarija, Bolivia,
which is near the northern border of the province
(Anderson 1997).
Monodelphis kunsi has been collected in
Bolivia just across the Rio Bermejo from Salta
Province (Anderson 1997; Mares et al. 1989;
Ojeda and Mares 1989). The fact that only a
handful of specimens of M. kunsi has been col-
lected across such a vast area (southern Bolivia to
central Brazil) suggests that this rare marsupial
eventually also will be found in Salta (e.g., Mares
et al. 1981b).
Similarly, Cabassous chacoensis has been col-
lected or observed in the neighboring provinces
of Formosa, Santiago del Estero, and Tucumán
(Chebez 1994; Mares et al. 1996). There may be
confirmation of it in the provinces of Salta and
Chaco (Chebez 1994) and its occurrence in the
chacoan forest of eastern Salta is probable.
Cabrera (1957) and Olrog and Lucero (1981)
listed Chaetophractus nationi for the province,
although there are no records to support its inclu-
sion in Salta. Nevertheless, it is known from the
puna of neighboring Jujuy Province (Díaz 1999),
a habitat that has had little biological exploration.
Thus, this species likely also will be found to
occur in Salta Province.
Chaetophractus villosus was listed as of proba-
ble occurrence in the province by Mares et al.
(1981a), Mares et al. (1989), and Ojeda and

34 DÍAZ, BRAUN, MARES, AND BARQUEZ OCCASIONAL PAPERS
Mares (1989). It is known from the chaco of
Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay (Wilson and
Reeder 1993). In Bolivia, records are known from
near the northeastern border of Salta Province
(Anderson 1997). As similar habitat occurs in this
region of the province, it is likely that this species
will be found to occur in Salta.
The listing of Noctilio albiventris is problem-
atic. Noctilio leporinus was listed for the province
by Burmeister (1879). Later, Cabrera (1938)
reported it as N. albiventris. N. albiventris has not
been collected in northwestern Argentina and its
occurrence there is not expected.
We include Diaemus youngi in the list of spe-
cies of probable occurrence, although this species
is known from only one specimen from north-
western Argentina (Jujuy Province; Díaz 1999).
Specimens are known, however, from Misiones
Province in the northeast and from localities in
Bolivia about 600 km to the north.
Olrog (1958) listed a specimen of Phyllostoma
discolor from Los Madrejones, Río Tarija e Itaú
as material studied. He additionally noted that
other individuals of this species were observed on
more than one occasion at the same location. This
specimen, supposedly deposited in the Colección
Mamíferos Lillo, has not been located for many
years (R. M. Barquez, pers. obs.). Based on the
fact that specimens are known from Bolivia
within 200 km of the province, and that this spe-
cies is not readily confused with others, we
include it in the fauna of Salta.
Mares et al. (1989) listed Tonatia bidens for
the province; Ojeda and Mares (1989, but as T.
silvicola) suggested that this species was probable
for the province. T. silvicola is known within 300
km of the Salta border in Bolivia (Anderson
1997), and eventually may be found in Salta, but
its occurrence there is not highly probable. T.
bidens, on the other hand, has been found in
neighboring Jujuy Province along the border with
Salta Province (Díaz 1999), and thus its inclusion
in Salta is highly probable.
Eptesicus brasiliensis was listed as probable
for the province by Mares et al. (1989) and Ojeda
and Mares (1989). However, Barquez et al.
(1999a) found that this species is known only
from the provinces of Corrientes and eastern
Chaco and it is not known from Bolivia (Anderson
1997). Also, many specimens identified as this
species have been shown to be E. furinalis. Thus,
it seems improbable that this species will be
found to occur in Salta Province.
The distribution of Histiotus velatus includes
eastern and southwestern Brazil, Paraguay, and
southcentral Bolivia (Anderson 1997; Wilson and
Reeder 1993). In Argentina, this species is known
for the northeastern provinces of Misiones and
Corrientes (Barquez et al. 1999a) and the north-
western province of Jujuy (Díaz 1999). Due to the
proximity of the specimen localities in Bolivia and
Jujuy, we consider it probable for the province of
Salta.
Cynomops abrasus has been reported as prob-
able for the province (Mares et al. 1981a, as
Molossops abrasus; 1989, as Eumops abrasus;
Ojeda and Mares 1989, as Eumops abrasus). This
status is based on records reported for the neigh-
boring provinces of Chaco, Formosa, and Santi-
ago del Estero (Barquez et al. 1999a).
Mares et al. (1981a) listed Eumops auripendu-
lus as probable for the province. However, most
specimen records are from the provinces of east-
ern Argentina (Barquez et al. 1999a) and the
nearest record in Bolivia is about 400 km distant
(Anderson 1997).
We list two primate species as of probable
occurrence in the province, Aotus azarai and
Saimiri sciureus. Specimen records of Aotus aza-
rai were reported by Anderson (1997) from
within 100 km of the border with Salta. A speci-
men also is known from Jujuy, although it dates
from the 1940s (Díaz and Barquez 1999). The
records for Saimiri sciureus in Bolivia include a
specimen from Yacuiba, which lies on the border
with Salta Province. This record is, however, iso-
lated from the rest of the distribution of this spe-
cies in Bolivia. We include it as probable based on
the proximity of this record.
Galictis vittata is known in Argentina for the
provinces of Misiones (Massoia 1980) and possi-
bly Formosa (Chebez 1994). This species also is
known from Bolivia in Potosí, which borders the
altiplano zone of Salta Province.
Mares et al. (1989) and Ojeda and Mares
(1989) listed Tremarctos ornatus as probable for
the province. Because records are known from
Bolivia within 100 km (Anderson 1997) and many
people in the province speak of the presence and
the legends of the “ucumari,” we list it as proba-
ble.
Olrog and Lucero (1981) listed Abrothrix illu-
teus for the province, but its presence has not
been documented by museum specimens. A. illu-
teus is known from the provinces of Catamarca
(Mares et al. 1997) and Tucumán, but records are
uncommon. For Jujuy, it has been listed as proba-
bly (Díaz 1999). We list it as probable because of
geographic proximity to its known distribution.

Number 10 SALTA MAMMALS 35
We list Akodon boliviensis as a species of prob-
able occurrence in the province. Based on the
revision by Myers et al. (1990), this species does
not occur in Argentina. However, we include it
based on the proximity of known locality records
of this species in Bolivia.
Akodon budini was listed for the province by
Yepes (1944), who cited both Hypsimys budini
and H. deceptor. The latter taxon currently is con-
sidered a synonym of the former. Because of the
proximity of the type localities (both in Jujuy;
Díaz 1999) to the province of Salta, less than 50
km, they are listed as of probable occurrence.
We list Akodon fumeus as probable for the
province. Records of this species are known from
Bolivia near the border with Salta Province, just
across the Río Bermejo (Anderson 1997). Speci-
mens also have been captured in the Parque
Nacional Calilegua, Jujuy Province, which is
located near the border with Salta (Díaz and Bar-
quez 1999).
Akodon sylvanus is included as a probable
species. Although Wilson and Reeder (1993) con-
sider pervalens a synonym of sylvanus, Myers
(1989) and Anderson (1997) suggest that they are
distinct species. Probable status is based on the
proximity of known specimens of sylvanus, in
Jujuy (Díaz 1999), to Salta Province.
Based on the revision of Myers (1989), the dis-
tribution of Akodon varius was restricted to
Bolivia. However, the proximity of some of the
localities to the Bolivia-Argentina border (Ander-
son 1997) cause us to list this species as probable.
The distribution of Bolomys amoenus includes
west-central Bolivia (Anderson 1997). Specimens
are known from the Departamento of Tarija,
which borders Salta Province, Argentina. Thus,
its listing as a species of probable occurrence.
Bolomys lasiurus is listed as probable for the
province based on the proximity of specimens
records known from neighboring provinces and
Bolivia (as B. lenguarum; Anderson, 1997). In
Bolivia, this species occurs just across the Río
Bermejo (Anderson 1997). Olrog and Lucero
(1981) cited this taxon for the Argentine prov-
inces of Jujuy and Tucumán, which border Salta
to the north and south, respectively.
Yepes (1935b) cited Calomys lepidus for Salta
as Hesperomys carillus argurus. Olrog and Luc-
ero (1981) listed Calomys lepidus for western
Salta and Jujuy. For Salta, the presence of this
species has not been documented by specimen
records. Specimens are known from Jujuy (Her-
shkovitz 1962; Díaz 1999) and nearby in Bolivia
(Anderson 1997).
Chinchillula sahamae was listed as of probable
occurrence by Mares et al. (1981a). It is possible
that this species will be found in the province,
however, the nearest locality is about 500 km
from Salta. The distribution of Chinchillula has
been reported to include the province of Jujuy
(Olrog and Lucero 1981), although no specimens
are known to exist. Galliari et al. (1996) did not
include it in the fauna of Argentina; Díaz (1999)
listed it as probable for the province of Jujuy.
Yepes (1935b), Cabrera (1961b), and Olrog
and Lucero (1981) listed Chroeomys jelskii for
the Argentine provinces of Salta and Jujuy.
Although there are specimens records for locali-
ties in Jujuy (Díaz 1999) and Bolivia (Anderson
1997), this species has not yet been recorded for
Salta.
The status of Euneomys fossor is problematic.
The type locality for this taxon is “Salta Province,”
the specific locality is not given. Examination of
the skin and the skull indicates that it is a compos-
ite. Many questions surround this specimen, the
only known; additionally, the nearest known local-
ity for the genus is about 800 km to the south in
Mendoza Province. However, it is possible that
this genus will be found north of Mendoza Prov-
ince. We recently captured Euneomys in Men-
doza, more than 90 years after it was last
recorded.
Mares et al. (1981a), Mares et al. (1989), and
Ojeda and Mares (1989) listed Oecomys concolor
(as Oryzomys concolor) as probable for the prov-
ince. The nearest known records of this species
are found in northern Bolivia making it unlikely
that this taxon will be found in Salta. However, in
Bolivia, as noted by Anderson (1997), the name
Oryzomys concolor has been used incorrectly for
specimens of O. mamorae. Records of O. mamo-
rae are known from within 200 km of the border
with Salta.
We include Oligoryzomys longicaudatus as
probable for the province. The few specimens
that were previously identified as this species
have been reassigned to O. destructor. However,
the taxonomy of this group needs further exami-
nation, so that we maintain the probable status of
O. longicaudatus.
Anderson (1997) reported specimens of Oligo-
ryzomys microtis from southern Bolivia, just on
the other side of the Río Bermejo, which borders
Salta Province. This species, which includes O.
fornesi, occurs in the Argentine provinces of For-
mosa, Chaco, and Corrientes (Carleton and
Musser 1989). We list it as probable based on the
proximity of known specimen records.

36 DÍAZ, BRAUN, MARES, AND BARQUEZ OCCASIONAL PAPERS
We add Oxymycterus akodontinus to the list of
species of probable occurrence in the province.
This taxon is known from the province of Jujuy
(the type locality only; Díaz 1999); we suggest
that it also will be found to occur in Salta Prov-
ince.
Phyllotis osilae is listed by Mares et al.
(1981a), Mares et al. (1989), and Ojeda and
Mares (1989) as probable; Olrog and Lucero
(1981) included the province in the distribution
of this species in Argentina. Although, no speci-
mens have been collected, records are known
from Jujuy Province (Díaz 1999), to the north,
and Tucumán Province, to the south. The pres-
ence of this species in the province is highly likely.
Although Yepes (1933) identified specimens of
Phyllotis in Argentina as Phyllotis wolffsohni,
Pearson (1958) considered these specimens as P.
caprinus and did not include Argentina in the
range of P. wolffsohni. According to Anderson
(1997), the range of P. wolffsohni in Bolivia
extends to within 50 km of the border with the
province of Salta. Recently, Díaz (1999) reported
specimens for Jujuy Province. For these reasons,
we list this species as probable.
Mares et al. (1989) and Ojeda and Mares
(1989) listed Coendou bicolor as probable for the
province, based on the presence of a few records
of this species in the neighboring province of
Jujuy (Díaz 1999). The nearest record in Bolivia is
about 500 km to the north (Anderson 1997).
We include Chinchilla lanigera in the list of
species of probable occurrence for the province
recognizing that questions remain regarding this
genus. The inclusion of this species is based on
historic information. Additional research is
needed to confirm the presence of this species.
Two species of Ctenomys are considered prob-
able, C. conoveri and C. lewisi. The ranges of
both of these species lie just to the north of the
Argentine border with Bolivia and the nearest
specimen records are within about 100 km. C.
conoveri is distributed in the chaco of Paraguay
and adjacent Argentina (Wilson and Reeder,
1993) and the chaco of southeastern Bolivia
(Anderson 1997). The distribution of C. lewisi
includes a small area of southern Bolivia (Ander-
son 1997; Wilson and Reeder 1993).
This report includes all of the latest available
information on the mammals occurring within the
boundaries of Salta Province, or likely to occur
within the provincial boundaries. Earlier, we
noted that Salta is relatively well known, mamma-
logically. However, that statement must be kept in
context. Salta contains 141 species of mammals in
a geographic area about the size of the State of
Georgia. Its fauna is known from fewer than
1,500 specimens gathered over a century of spo-
radic fieldwork. Many of the specimens have
been collected in or near two of the national
parks, Parque Nacional El Rey and Parque
Nacional Baritú, or in the phytogeographic area
known as the Yungas. There is a general lack of
information for the other areas of the province
especially in the puna, prepuna, and chaco. A
perusal of field guides to the mammals of any
state in the United States will show how poorly
sampled is the fauna of Salta Povince. For exam-
ple, the Mammals of Colorado (Armstrong 1972)
was based on 23,400 specimens collected from an
area of 269,000 km
2
, a sampling effort of 0.09
specimens/km
2
. Similarly, the Mammals of Ari-
zona (Hoffmeister 1986), utilized more than
42,278 specimens collected from an area of
295,000 km
2
, with a sampling effort of 0.14 speci-
mens/km
2
. By comparison, the sampling effort in
Salta yields 0.01 specimen/km
2
, a value greatly
below the level of effort that characterizes faunal
surveys in the United States.
Despite the dearth of collecting in Salta, it is
clear that the many habitats of the province sup-
port a wealth of mammals. Moreover, the area is
of special biogeographic interest, for it is a major
zone of macrohabitat interdigitation. We are cur-
rently continuing our efforts at surveying this
province more completely, and we are confident
that as data accrue on its mammal fauna, various
biogeographic patterns, as well as patterns clarify-
ing evolutionary relationships, will become evi-
dent.

Localities are listed in alphabetical order. Departments
are given in parentheses followed by coordinates for latitude
and longitude. General comments or clarifications of some
localities are given below.
The locality “El Desmonte, Metán” was presented by
Ojeda and Mares (1989) as being situated in the
Departamento Metán. The coordinates place it in the
Departamento Capital, which is located near the
Departamento Metán.
The coordinates of “La Cañada” given by Ojeda and
Mares (1989) correspond to the city of Metán. This locality
could not be precisely located by Ojeda and Mares (1989)
nor by us.
The locality “5 km S (by rd.) of jct. of Seclantás Rd. and
Hwy. 59 (about 30 km E Cachi), 2600 m” (Ojeda and Mares
1989) should be “...(about 30 km S Cachi).”
Barquez et al. (1999a) gave Rivadavia as the
departamento for “Laguna de los Panzones;” the correct
departamento is San Martín.
The coordinates given by Ojeda and Mares (1989) for the
locality “La Represa, Metán,” situate it in the Departamento
La Viña. We were, however, able to locate this locality in
Departamento Metán.
The locality of “Manuela Pedraza,” was cited incorrectly
for Salta Province by Ojeda and Mares (1989); this locality is
in Tucumán Province.
Ojeda and Mares (1989) listed “Quebrada de Acambuco”
and “5 km W Dique Itiyuro” as two separate localites. We
think that this is an error and that they should be combined
as “Quebrada de Acambuco, 5 km W Dique Itiyuro.”
The coordinates reported for the locality “Rio Cachi” by
Ojeda and Mares (1989) would locate it in the Departamento
of Cafayate; the correct departamento is Cachi.
The locality “Totoralejo” cited by Ojeda and Mares
(1989) for Dolichotis salinicola, is not listed in their
gazetteer; this locality is in Córdoba Province.
The locality Urundel-El Bananal listed by Ojeda and
Mares (1989) is considered to be located in the province of
Jujuy.
The locality Urundel or Urundel Arroyo del Diablo listed
by Ojeda and Mares (1989) is located in Salta Province.
Gazetteer locality 143, “Urundel-El Bananal;” Ojeda and
Mares 1989:58) should be “Urundel” as it appears in the text
(e.g., for Priodontes maximus; Ojeda and Mares 1989:29).
