The primordial tapecua (Tapecomys primus) is a species of medium sized rodent in the family Cricetidae. The type locality is in southeastern Bolivia. It is the only known species of the genus Tapecomys.[1] Two specimens were found in 1991 in a forested region at an elevation of 1500 m near the village of Tapecua in the Tarija Department of Bolivia.[3] A few additional specimens have been found since, from the type locality[3] and from a location in Jujuy Province, northern Argentina.[2]
