New specimens of<strong> </strong><em>Schizaster iheringi</em> (de Loriol, 1902) from Early Miocene sedimentites (Chenque Formation, Patagonia, Argentina) allowed us to improve its original description, providing for the first time details of the apical disc and the oral side of  test. The species is included into the genus <em>Brisaster</em>: the first unquestionable documented reference to the taxon from the Neogene of Argentina. All previously reported specimens of this species are evaluated, concluding that the stratigraphic range of the genus <em>Brisaster</em> in Patagonia must be restricted to the Early Miocene. Rev.
