Abstract
Only two giant vampire fossils are so far recognize at mid latitude in the late Pleistocene of South America. Both considered with reasonable doubt (cf., aff.) to Desmodus draculae. Here, a recently recovered dentary form the late Pleistocene of southeastern Buenos Aires, is confidently assigned to D. draculae. During the late Pleistocene D. draculae had a large distribution from Mexico to central Argentina, larger than that of extant D. rotundus.
期刊介绍:
Ameghiniana is a bimonthly journal that publishes original contributions on all disciplines related to paleontology, with a special focus on the paleontology of Gondwana and the biotic history of the southern hemisphere. Published yearly since 1957, it has undoubtedly become the main palaeontological publication from Latin America. Ameghiniana has recently broadened its editorial board, reorganized its production process, and increased to a bimonthly frequency, which resulted in a significant decrease in the turn around time.
