''Lagidium'' is a genus of rodent in the family Chinchillidae. It contains the following species: * Northern Viscacha (''Lagidium peruanum'') * Southern Viscacha (''Lagidium viscacia'') * Wolffsohn's Viscacha (''Lagidium wolffsohni'') * ''Lagidium ahuacaense'' - a new species from Ecuador described in June 2009. ==Taxonomy== The number of species of mountain viscachas is considered to be 3 by most authors: ''Lagidium peruanum'' (northern or montane viscacha), ''L. viscacia'' (southern or mountain viscacha), and ''L. wolffsohni'' (Wolffsohn’s viscacha). However, taxonomy usually differs by authors (e.g. ''L. peruanum'' is included within ''L. viscacia'' according to Anderson 1997).〔Spotorno, A. (2004).
