Taxonomy
Eoviscaccia was first described by María Guiomar Vucetich in 1989 based on remains found in the Salla Formation of Bolivia and the Sarmiento Formation of Chubut Province, Argentina, with the proposed type species being Eoviscaccia boliviana. Two other species, E. australis and E. frassinettii, were both named in 1989 and 2012 respectively, with E. australis being found in Chubut, Entre Ríos, Neuquén, and Río Negro Provinces of Argentina, while E. frassinettii was found in the Abanico Formation of Chile.
The following cladogram of the Caviomorpha is based on Busker et al. 2020, showing the position of Eoviscaccia.
