Arauz (30°44’01” S, 60°58’31” W), Province of Santa Fe, Argentina, were studied. We registered 11 genera of small mammals, including Didelphidae marsupials (1 species), and Caviidae (1), Cricetidae (10), and Muridae (1) rodents. We documented the southernmost record for Pseudoryzomys simplex and the first and second recording localities for Santa Fe of Oligoryzomys nigripes and Graomys chacoensis, respectively.
