Resumen:
The first fossil record of Dusicyon gymnocercus (Fischer) from Entre Ríos province in Argentina is described from the Arroyo Feliciano Formation (Lujanian; late Pleistocene-early Holocene). The specimen (CICyTTP-PV-M-22) is a nearly complete skull without mandibles. The morphology and size of the dentition and skull is indistinguishable from the recent species Dusicyon gymnocercus. The multivariate analysis performed agrees with this assignation. This skull is the first fossil record of a canid in Entre Ríos province and the Argentinian Mesopotamia, and expands the geographic distribution of Dusicyon gymnocercus during the Lujanian.
