Resumen:
Abstract. New records of cervids poorly known: Epieuryceros cf. proximus Castellanos and Antifer sp. Ameghino (Mammalia, Artiodactyla, Cervidae). In this paper we report, out of the pampean area, the finding of two poorly known Cervidae: Epieuryceros cf. proximus, coming from the Toropí Formation (middle Pleistocene) in the Corrientes province, and Antifer sp., found in the middle Pleistocene-early Holocene of Formosa province. The record of E. cf. proximus (the second one of this taxa), is congruent with the signaled age for the Toropí Formation . In addition, we make a discussion about the actual situation of the systematic aspects of the species belonging to the family Cervidae. Finally, and from a paleozoogeographycal point of view, these reports represent the most septentrional limit, in Argentina, for both taxa.
