1997 Mastozoologia Neotropical (4): 49-71
Mammals of the Parque Biol¢gico Sierra de San Javier, Tucum n, Argentina: observations on their systematic and distribution. A list of species that inhabit the Parque Biol¢gico Sierra de San Javier is presented. The area includes several natural habitats distributed in an altitudinal gradient from Chacoan Forests, Lower Montane Forests, Upper Montane Forests, to High Grasslands. The number of species in each order is as follows: Three didelphimorphs, 1 edentate, 12 chiropterans, 10 carnivores, 3 artiodactyls, 25 rodents (3 unidentified), and one lagomorph. The Order Rodentia includes three unidentified specimens that are currently under study; descriptions of these new species will be presented at a later date. Most of the records for the rodents are new for the park. Two bats and four rodents are known from localities outside the park and it is possible that they may also occur in the park.
