Comparing with other regions of Argentina, few Pleistocene mammalian records are known from Mendoza Province. The genera previously recognized are: Megatherium, Mylodon, Glossotherium, Macrauchenia, Paleolama, Hippidion, and Equus. In this note, the first occurrence of Glyptodon sp. (Xenarthra, Cingulata, Glyptodontidae) is reported. The material was found in outcrops of the El Zampal Formation located on the west margin of the Tunuyán River, Tupungato Department. This finding represents the westernmost record of Glyptodon in Argentina.
