The mammals of la Rioja, eight decades after Yepes (Los mam¡feros de la Rioja, ocho d‚cadas despu‚s de Yepes)
2018 Revista del Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales n.s. (20): 123-135
The mammals of the Province of La rioja are poorly known, due to the lack of systematic sampling and little interest in its survey. the single list of mammals was elaborated by Jos‚ Yepes in 1936 mostly from materials collected by him in field trip conducted in several localities, including Sanagasta, Patqu¡a, Famatina, Villa uni¢n and La Sierra de Velasco. Here we present the first update to the list of Yepes, using the available literature, as well as the specimens collected by him and housed at the Museo Argentino de ciencias naturales "Bernardino rivadavia". the species listed account 70, showing an important increment from the 23 recorded by Yepes. However, since a large area of the province is still unexplored, we can expect future additions.
