	abstract = "The Argentinean record of abelisauroid theropods begins in the Early Cretaceous (<I>Ligabueino</I>) and spans most of the Late Cretaceous, from Cenomanian (<I>Ilokelesia,</I> <I>Xenotarsosaurus</I>, and <I>Ekrixinatosaurus</I>) to Campanian-Maastrichtian (<I>Abelisaurus</I>, <I>Carnotaurus</I>, <I>Aucasaurus</I>, and <I>Noasaurus</I>). A fragmentary specimen of a theropod dinosaur was collected in 2000 from the middle section of the Lisandro Formation (Turonian?) at Cerro Bayo Mesa, Neuqu&#233;n Province, Argentina. The fossil-bearing level, which is part of the Lisandro Formation that also yielded the remains of the basal ornithopod <I>Anabisetia</I> <I>saldiviai</I>, corresponds to a reddish, massive mudstone linked with fluvial channel deposits. The theropod identified as MCF-PVPH-237 is an abelisauroid theropod that increases our knowledge about the evolution of South American Abelisauroidea and is the first record of this clade from the Lisandro Formation.<P></P>Le registre argentin des th&#233;ropodes ab&#233;lisauro&#239;des commence au Cr&#233;tac&#233; pr&#233;coce (<I>Ligabueino</I>) et s'&#233;tend sur presque tout le Cr&#233;tac&#233; tardif, du C&#233;nomanien (<I>Ilokelesia</I>,<I>Xenotarsosaurus</I> et <I>Ekrixinatosaurus</I>) au Campanien-Maastrichtien (<I>Abelisaurus</I>, <I>Carnotaurus</I>, <I>Aucasaurus</I> et <I>Noasaurus</I>).
