To provide an objective geographic framework displaying the distribution

Location Argentina, southern South America.Argentina, southern South America.
Methods Parsimony analysis of endemicity (PAE) and similarity and cluster
analyses were applied to presence and absence data on 440 fish species from 52
localities in Argentina. Both 50% majority consensus and strict consensus
analyses were made in the first case, and the Jaccard similarity index was used in
the second.

Main conclusions The following zoogeographic provinces are proposed for
Argentine freshwater fish fauna following the International Code of Area
Nomenclature: Andean Cuyan, Patagonian, Aymaran, Great Rivers and Pampean.
The former two are placed within the Andean Subregion of the Austral Region,
and the latter three within the Neotropical Subregion of the Holotropical Region.
These provinces, based on results coinciding with PAE and cluster analyses,
represent the first classification of Argentine provinces based on objective
methods. Some small regions of endemism and some localities remain separated
from the proposed regions. The new scheme includes valuable empirical
information from previous schemes, and is in agreement with 3 ecological zones
and other environmental arrangements proposed earlier.
