Viscacia (Rengger, 1830)[2] Lagostomus is a South American genus of rodents in the family Chinchillidae.

It contains a single living species, the plains viscacha, and it is the only Holocene genus in the subfamily Lagostominae.

It probably only has one extant species; the taxa Lagostomus crassus is probably not valid.
