Discussion: Wetzel (1985 b) divided the Dasypodidae into two subfamilies: Chlamyphorinae (monotypic) and Dasypodinae (with four tribes: Dasypodini, Euphractini, Priodontini, and Tolypeutini). McKenna and Bell (1997) divided Wetzel’s Dasypodidae into three subfamilies: Dasypodinae (monotypic), Euphractinae (with tribes Chlamyphorini and Euphractini), and Tolypeutinae (with tribes Tolypeutini and Priodontini).
