Treatment

Dasypus hybridus Desmarest 1804 , Tabl. Meth. Hist. Nat., in: Nouv. Dict. Hist. Nat., Vol. 24: 28.

Type Locality: Paraguay, Misiones, San Ignacio (as restricted by Cabrera, 1958).

Vernacular Names: Southern Long-nosed Armadillo.

Synonyms: Dasypus auritus ( Olfers 1818) ; Dasypus brevicaudus Larrañaga 1923 .

Distribution: Argentina, Paraguay, and S Brazil south to Río Negro, Argentina.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: 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.
