Resumen
En América del Sur hay dos tipos de animales conocidos vulgarmente cómo nutrias, los lutrinos, que pertenecen al grupo de los mustélidos (Carnivora), y los coipos, que son roedores (Rodentia). En el norte del Neuquén, sur de Mendoza y regiones aledañas, no hay, en general, mamíferos semiacuáticos. Sin embargo, documentos, topónimos y tradiciones sugieren la presencia de estos tetrápodos en tiempos históricos. Lo impreciso de los registros, dificulta aseverar si eran huillines, Lontra provocax, o alguna subespecie de coipo, Myocastor coypus. En esta contribución nos referimos a estos registros.
In South America there are two kinds of animals known vulgarly as otters, the lutrines, belonging to mustelids (Carnivora), and the coypus, that are rodents (Rodentia). Semiaquatic mammals are, in general, lacking in the north of Neuquén, south of Mendoza, and neighboring regions. However, their presence during historic times is suggested by documents, toponyms and traditions. The vagueness of records, difficult to discern if these tetrapods were huillines, the southern river otter, Lontra provocax, or some of the subspecies of coypus, Myocastor coypus. In this contribution, we comment on these records.
