Twenty specimens representative of at least four species in three orders of marsupials were captured in the Patagonian portion of Argentina. One specimen is of the poorly known carnivorous Lestodelphys halli; another constitutes the first record of Rhyncholestes raphanurus for Argentina; one of Dromiciops adds our understanding of the habitat and diet of this microbiothere, and our 17 specimens of Thylamys, which cluster into two groups corresponding to the Monte and Patagonian biomes, are included under the name Thylamys pusillus, but are hypothesized to represent two taxa. The southernmost locality of record for this genus is reported.
