Resumen:
Abstract. In this paper we report the remains of six fossil mammals from Toropí Formation (late Pleistocene), in Corrientes province (Argentina). Those remains were classified as: Pampatheriidae: Pampatherium sp; Glyptodontidae: Glyptodon sp.; Mylodontidae: Scelidodon sp.; Toxodontidae: Toxodon sp.; Gomphotheriidae: Stegomastodon aff. platensis; Cervidae: Antifer aff. ensenadensis, In this way, the rests are described and its stratigraphic and geographic distribution is established. The group pf taxa here described show similar condition between this area and the pampean region during late Pleistocene-early Holocene. Palaeozoogegraphically it is important to remark the first record in Argentina of Scelidodon and Antifer aff. ensenadensis in lujanian sediments.
