%X the present note reports the first record of the rodent abrocoma bennetti (waterhouse 1837) for the copiap車 valley, located between the cities of copiap車 and caldera, chile. specimens were captured and then released to their natural environment. this record extends the northern and northwestern distribution limits of this rodent from vallenar to copiap車 (ca. 145 km) and from ramadilla to copiap車 (ca. 120 km), respectively. other species collected were oligoryzomys longicaudatus and abrothrix olivaceus. we present a map of the new distribution range for this species based on taxonomic collections and previously published papers.
