Resumen:
The Sigmodontinae is a highly diverse subfamily of rodents that represents almost30% of the mammalian species present in northwestern Argentina. However, the distributionof several species is delimited on the basis of scarce records. We add new localities for fourpoorly known species of rodents (Abrothrix andina Philippi 1858, Abrothrix jelskii Thomas1824, Neotomys ebriosus Thomas 1894, Auliscomys sublimis Thomas 1900) in the High Andesof Jujuy and Salta provinces. We duplicate the number of known localities for A. jelskii in Salta,including the lowest known elevation record in Argentina and added the second knownlocality for Jujuy province. Furthermore, we add four new localities for A. sublimis, including the westernmost locality in Argentina, and reported for the first time this species at adepartmental political division in NWA. Finally, we report the first departmental record forboth A. andina and N. ebriosus in Valle Grande.
