New records of the Endangered Catagonus wagneri (Rusconi, 1930) are reported in Campo Grande Community of peasants, northwestern Santiago del Estero, Argentina. The new records were obtained through camera traps, the finding of a skull and footprints. We conducted interviews confirmed the historical presence of the species. The records indicate the presence of the species in the North Biological Corridor, expanding its distribution in the province, providing initial evidence of potential connection between northern and southern populations.
