The early distribution of Euphractus sexcinc- tus in central-southwestern Argentina is here confirmed through an historical record from La Rioja province that was found at the Buenos Aires ?Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales Bernardino Rivadavia?, and neglect- ed since 1935. The specimen corresponds to a complete head, with skull included, preserved in alcohol, collected by Dr. Salvador Mazza.
