Gracilinanus microtarsus (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae) from Misiones Province, Argentina. The recent distribution of the murine opossum Gracilinanus microtarsus (Wagner, 1842) is restricted to southeastern Brazil. In this note we present the first docu- mented record for this species in Argentina. One specimen of G. microtarsus was caught in an ecotonal area between the perisylvan grasslands of the Northern Campos and the Paranense forests (Santa Ana, Candelaria, Misiones; 27o 36' S, 55o 56' O). This record expands the known distribution of this species about 500 km W. Palabras clave. Comadrejita agil. Distribucion. Marsupialia.
