SPECIES Dasypus hybridus
| Author: | Desmarest, 1804. | | Citation: | Tabl. Meth. Hist. Nat., in Nouv. Dict. Hist. Nat., 24: 28. | | Common Name: | Southern Long-nosed Armadillo | | Type Locality: | Paraguay, Misiones, San Ignacio (as restricted by Cabrera, 1958). | | Distribution: | Argentina, Paraguay, and S Brazil south to Río Negro, Argentina. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Wetzel and Mondolfi (1979) included the Paraguayan paratype of mazzai Yepes, 1933; however, Vizcaíno (1995) included this specimen as a paratype of D. yepesi. Tamayo (1968) said Dasypus undecimcinctus Molina, 1782, was based on a composite of an animal known as "mulita’ and Cabassous unicinctus. The name undecimcintus Molina is best considered a nomen oblitum. |
