CONTEXT AND CONTENT. Order Cingulata , family Dasypodidae , subfamily Dasypodinae , genus Dasypus . Within the genus Dasypus, Wetzel et al. (2008) recognized 7 living species: Dasypus novemcinctus , which occurs both in the Nearctic and the Neotropics; and 6 Neotropical species, D. hybridus , D. kappleri , D. pilosus , D. sabanicola , D. septemcinctus , and D. yepesi . However, Castro et al. (2015) recently suggested that D. pilosus should be reassigned to the genus Cryptophractus Fitzinger, 1856 . Synonymy is modified from Wetzel et al. (2008).
