Dasypodidae Gray 1821

Dasypodidae Gray 1821, London Med. Repos., 15: 305.

Genera: 9 genera with 21 species in 3 subfamilies:

Subfamily Dasypodinae Gray 1821

Genus Dasypus Linnaeus 1758 (7 species with 8 subspecies)

Subfamily Euphractinae Winge 1923

Genus Calyptophractus Fitzinger 1871 (1 species)

Genus Chaetophractus Fitzinger 1871 (3 species with 2 subspecies)

Genus Chlamyphorus Harlan 1825 (1 species)

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).
