CONTEXT AND CONTENT. Order Cingulata , family Dasypodidae , subfamily Chlamyphorinae (Möller-Krull et al. 2007) . Wetzel et al. (2008) included Chlamyphorinae as the tribe Chlamyphorini of the subfamily Euphractinae , but a molecular phylogeny by Delsuc et al. (2012) confirmed that the fairy armadillos were an ancient lineage worthy of subfamilial rank.
