The Budin's Chinchilla Rat (Abrocoma budini) is a species of chinchilla rat in the Abrocomidae family. Found only in Argentina, the categorization of this species was based on analysis a single specimen. In 2002, Braun and Mares from the University of Oklahoma examined this specimen and confirmed it to be a separate species.[1]
