Budin's tuco-tuco (Ctenomys budini) is 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 is suspected to be threatened.[1] It is viewed as possibly being a subspecies of C. frater.[1] The species is named after Emilio Budin, an Argentine specimen collector who worked with Oldfield Thomas.[3]
