Although glyptodonts were an important component of Cenozoic South American faunas, their early evolution and phylogenetic affinities within the order Cingulata (armoured New World placental mammals) remain controversial. In this study, we used hybridization enrichment and high-throughput sequencing to obtain a partial mitochondrial genome from Doedicurus sp., the largest (1.5 m tall, and 4 m long) and one of the last surviving glyptodonts. Our molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed that glyptodonts fall within the diver- sity of living armadillos. Reanalysis of morphological data using a molecular ‘back- bone constraint’ revealed several morphological characters that supported a close relationship between glyptodonts and the tiny extant fairy armadillos (Chlamyphori- nae).

CENTRAL AMERICAN PROVINCIALISM AND THE GREAT AMERICAN BIOTIC INTERCHANGE Michael O. Woodburne1,* Alberto L. Cione2,**, and Eduardo P. Tonni2,*** ABSTRACT The age and phyletic context of mammals that dispersed between North and South America during the past 9 m.y. is summarized. The presence of a Central American province of cladogenesis and faunal differentiation is explored. One apparent aspect of such a province is to delay dispersals of some taxa northward from Mexico into the continental United States, largely during the Blancan. Examples are recognized among the various xenar- thrans, and cervid artiodactyls. Whereas the concept of a Central American province has been mentioned in past investigations it is upgraded here. Paratoceras (protoceratid artio- dactyl) and rhynchotheriine proboscideans provide perhaps the most compelling examples of Central American cladogenesis (late Arikareean to early Barstovian and Hemphillian to Rancholabrean, respectively), but this category includes Hemphillian sigmodontine rodents, and perhaps a variety of carnivores and ungulates from Honduras in the medial Miocene, as well as peccaries and equids from Mexico. For South America, Mexican canids and hy- drochoerid rodents may have had an earlier development in Mexico. Remarkably, the first South American immigrants to Mexico (after the Miocene heralds; the xenarthrans Plaina and Glossotherium) apparently dispersed northward at the same time as the first Holarctic taxa dispersed to South America (sigmodontine rodents and the tayassuid artiodactyls).

A small mammalian fauna is recorded from Extinction Cave (also called Sibun 6 Cave), east of Belmopan, on the Sibun River, Belize, Central America. The animals recognized 7 are armadillo (†Dasypus bellus), American lion (†Panthera atrox), jaguar (P. onca), puma or 8 mountain lion (Puma concolor), Florida spectacled bear (†Tremarctos floridanus), javelina or 9 collared peccary (Pecari tajacu), llama (Camelidae indet., ?†Palaeolama mirifica), red brocket 10 deer (Mazama americana), bison (Bison sp.) and Mexican half-ass (†Equus conversidens), and 11 sabre-tooth cat († Smilodon fatalis) may also be represented (‘†’ indicates an extinct taxon). 12 Bear and bison are absent from the region today. The bison record is one of the more southernly 13 known. The bear record is almost the mostDraft westerly known and a first for Central America.

Abba <[email protected] >]. 2 Divi- sión Paleontología Vertebrados, Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo, Universidad Nacional de La Plata. CONICET. RESUMEN: En este trabajo se analiza la distribución de las especies actuales de armadillos registradas en el territorio de la provincia de Buenos Aires. La información proviene de trabajos de campo, revisión bibliográfica y colecciones de museo. Se ana- lizan aspectos temporales y espaciales. Se obtuvieron 401 registros georreferenciados para siete especies. Dasypus hybridus y Chaetophractus villosus son los armadillos más comunes y ampliamente distribuidos en la provincia. C. villosus parece estar siendo favorecida por las nuevas prácticas agrícolas y D. hybridus muestra una ampliación en el uso del hábitat. Para Zaedyus pichiy se registraron cambios en la distribución en la zona sureste de la provincia, cuya explicación más consensuada son los cambios en las condiciones climáticas. Para Chlamyphorus truncatus esta revisión dejó ver la necesidad de realizar estudios, ya que la zona en donde se distribuye está siendo intensamente degradada. La única especie actual extinta, Tolypeutes matacus, proba- blemente haya desaparecido por cambios climático-ambientales. Dasypus novemcinctus ha ingresando en la provincia hace pocos años, registrándose en la Ecorregión Delta e Islas del Paraná.

Osteoderm microstructure of Riostegotherium yanei, the oldest Xenarthra. An Acad Bras Cienc 91: e20181290. DOI 10.1590/0001-3765201920181290. Abstract: Riostegotherium yanei from the Itaboraí Basin, Brazil, is the oldest known Xenarthra. This paper aims to describe the internal morphology of the osteoderms of Riostegotherium yanei from the perspective of histology and micro-CT approaches, expanding the available data on cingulate osteoderm microstructure.

  • SOUTHERN NAKED-TAILED ARMADILLO Cabassous Unicinctus (Linnaeus, 1758)
    Smith P - Cabassous unicinctus - FAUNA Paraguay Handbook of the Mammals of Paraguay Number 40 20011 SOUTHERN NAKED-TAILED ARMADILLO Cabassous unicinctus (Linnaeus, 1758) FIGURE 1 - Adult dorsal view. Estancia Pa´i Kuára, Departamento Amambay, January 2006. (Photo Hugo del Castillo). TAXONOMY: Class Mammalia; Subclass Theria; Infraclass Eutheria; Order Cingulata; Family Dasypodidae; Subfamily Tolypeutinae, Tribe Priodontini (Myers et al 2006). The genus Cabassous was defined by McMurtrie (1831) and contains four species, three of which are present in Paraguay. The genus was reviewed by Wetzel (1980). There are two quite distinct subspecies, one of which, C.u.squamicaudis , is present in Paraguay (Wetzel 1980). It is possible that these two subspecies in fact represent distinct species, with the divergence between them in morphology and other characters of taxonomic importance greater than or equal to differences between C.u.unicinctus and other species in many cases. Wetzel (1980) retained them as subspecies presumably on the basis of a reported zone of intergradation in the Amazon River area, though the intergradation of two closely related but distinct species in a zone of overlap may not be completely out of the question. The species name unicinctus means "single band" in Latin. The subspecies name squamicaudis means "scaly tail" presumably in reference to the increased presence of tail scutes when compared with the nominate subspecies. Xenurus squamicaudis (Lund 1843) was considered a fossil species upon its discovery in mixed material from caverns of Minas Gerais, and this arrangement was followed by Winge (1915) and Paula Couto (1950, 1973). Wetzel (1980) however found the material to be referable to this species.
