Abstract

Until the present moment, fossils of giant mammals of the Pleistocene were found only in one locality in “Poço Redondo” district. In the “Charco” farm were found:  Eremotherium laurillardi,  Stegomastodon waringi,  Scelidodon (= Catonyx)  cuvieri,  Palaeolama major,  Glossotherium cf. lettsomi, Glyptodon sp. and Toxodon sp.  In this work was described the occurrence of two species: E. laurillardi and S. waringiin a new locality in “Poço Redondo” district, call “Tytoya” Farm, and an inference about the distribution of giant mammals during the Pleistocene in Sergipe state was made.
