TETA, Pablo; PARDINAS, Ulyses F. J.; ANDRADE, Analía  and  CIRIGNOLI, Sebastián. Distribution of the genera Euryoryzomys and Sooretamys (Rodentia, Cricetidae) in Argentina. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2007, vol.14, n.2, pp.279-284. ISSN 0327-9383.

The geographic distribution of sigmodontine sylvan genera E uryoryzomys and S ooretamys in Argentina was reviewed. Twenty two new localities were added to those previously reported in the literature. E uryoryzomys legatus is restricted to Andean forested foot hills (< 1000 m) in Jujuy and Salta provinces. E uryoryzomys russatus is only known from Misiones Province. S ooretamys angouya occupies interior subtropical forests in Misiones and gallery forest along the Paraná and Paraguay rivers and their tributaries in northeastern Argentina. We cited for the first time S. angouya in Entre Ríos Province, extending the known distribution of this genus ca. 500 km southwards.

Keywords : "angouya group"; "nitidus group".
