Both was collected in NE Argentina, near Brazilian border at western bank of Uruguay river, in Rio Grande do Sul state. Lagostomus maximus Desmarest, 1817, belong to rodent family Chinchilidae, a family absent in Brazil, and also occur in Bolivia and Paraguay; Chacodelphys formosa Shamel, 1930, is a marsupial from Didelphidae family, and is a endemic genus for Argentina.
