Resumen:
Stenoterommata platensis is distributed in Argentina and Uruguay along the LaPlata River basin, characterized by a predominantly humid climate and moisthabitats. However, this contribution reports the presence of S. platensis outside itsknown distribution range, accompanied by an analysis of distribution models toassess the influence of bioclimatic variables on distribution patterns. This researchconfirms the current presence of S. platensis in the Santiago del Estero province,indicating a significant expansion of its geographic range and its ability to thrivein drier and high-temperature environments. Niche modeling under pastconditions (~20000 years ago) indicated suitable areas for the establishing of thisspecies in the Dry Chaco.
