Resumen:
Abstract. Early Mesozoic Argentinian darwinuloids, now re-assigned to the genus Penthesilenula (incae group), are described and illustrated. These records seem to constitute the oldest known for the genus. The close similarities between the studied species and others from eastern Asia enlarge the geographical distribution of the genus, which, although restricted to the southern Hemisphere in Recent and Holocene times, it could have had a wider distribution in the past. Additional information on paleoecology and a preliminary account on the distribution of darwinulid species from Argentina are also offered. One new species is described: Penthesilenula loana sp. nov.
