Contribution to knowledge of Palmas Grassland mammals, Paraná, Brazil. The southern region of Paraná State is considered to be a priority area for mammal research in the state. This work aimed to present an inventory of the mammal species occurring in the locality known as Campos de Palmas, Paraná, Southern Brazil (26º34’59”S and 51º36’16”W), and to promote discussion about their importance for regional conservation. This assessment was carried out in two fi eld stages, totaling 15 days. Thirty-fi ve mammal species were recorded by direct observation, capture with mist nets, presence of feces and tracks, and identifi cation of animals killed on the BR-280 highway. This inventory registered endangered species for Paraná and Brazil, as well as other important records of some mammal species at regional and national level.
