Budin's tuco-tuco (Ctenomys budini) was formerly considered a species of rodent in the family Ctenomyidae. ^[2] It is endemic to southeast Jujuy Province in northwest Argentina. ^[2] Given the extensive human presence in its limited range, it has been suspected to be threatened. ^[1] The IUCN and ASM currently view it as a subspecies of C. frater . ^{[3] [4]} It was named after Emilio Budin, an Argentine specimen collector who worked with Oldfield Thomas. ^[5] Some authors consider it to be a synonym of Ctenomys frater. ^[6]
