A significant assemblage of Oxfordian perisphinctids was collected at Chacay Melehue, Neuquen, Argentina. It is composed of well preserved specimens belonging to the family Perisphinctidae:Perisphinctes aff.promiscuus Bukowski (Perisphinctinae),Tenuisphinctes herreroduclouxi (Leanza) (Perisphinctinae), andSubvinalesphinctes pseudokranaus n. sp. andS. prophetae (Gygi & Hillebrandt) (Vinalesphinctinae). The family Ataxioceratidae is represented byLithacosphinctes aff. janus (Choffat) (Ataxioceratinae). The subfamily VinalesphinctinaeMelendez & Myczynski, 1987 is discussed and organized into three genera:Subvinalesphinctes Wierzbowski,Vinalesphinctes Spath andCubasphinctes Judoley & Furrazola, which seems to cover the whole of the subfamily, ranging, at least, from the lowerplicatilis to the lowerbifurcatus zones, Middle Oxfordian in Cuba, part of Mexico, Chile and Argentina. The root of the subfamily is most likelyS. pseudokranaus n. sp. The paleobiogeographic affinites are mainly Tethyan, and Tethyan-Caribbean during the Middle Oxfordian.
