On the presence of two taxa of Coendou in the North of Argentina

Abstract

On the presence of two taxa of Coendou in the North of Argentina?. Two specimens of the genus Coendou have been collected in Northwertern Argentina. They belong to different species: Coendou prehensilis from Tartagal, and Coendou bicolor from the Yuto region. While the first lives in Chaco forest, the second is a dweller of humid andean forest. Both seem to be recent invaders from the north.
