First Records of the Southern Naked-Tailed Armadillo Cabassous unicinctus (Cingulata: Dasypodidae) in Paraguay

Abstract

The first specimens of southern naked-tailed armadillo Cabassous unicinctus squamicaudis from Pa- raguay are documented, extending the known distribution of the species approximately 270 km south- southwestward in the cerrado eco-region. This is the 12th species of armadillo documented as present in Paraguay. Paraguay is the only country with three representatives of the genus Cabassous occurring within its borders.
