In this note we report three new specimens of Abrothrix (Angelomys) xanthorhina from Isla de los Estados, southernmost Argentina, which are representative of the nominal form Akodon llanoi Pine, 1976. These are the first voucher specimens since the species description, more than four decades ago. In addition, we provide morphometric data for these specimens and update the distribution of the species on the island. Because of its rarity and isolated condition, added to the presence of Rattus norvegicus in Isla de los Estados, we suspect that the conservation status of this population could be compromised.
