Living dasypodids are all placed in the genus Dasypus , of which two species are known from our region: the nine-banded long-nosed armadillo ( D. novemcinctus ) and the greater longnosed armadillo ( D. pastasae ). Although similar in appearance and habits, the latter is a primary game species of the Matses, whereas the former is partially tabooed.
