Resumen:
A new species of Peltephilidae (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Cingulata) (late Paleocene?- late 20 Miocene), Epipeltephilus kanti sp. nov. is described here. The new taxon is based on three 21 specimens collected from the margins of Arroyo Chasicó, Buenos Aires Province, 22 (Argentina), which correspond to the Arroyo Chasicó Formation (late Miocene, Chasicoan 23 SALMA). Epipeltephilus kanti sp. nov. is mainly characterized by osteoderms with a very 24 rough exposed surface showing high longitudinal and well developed crests (two lateral and one central) with deep and ample grooves among them. Epipeltephilus 25 kanti sp. nov. is the 26 only ?relictual? xenarthran cingulate of the Santacrucian Age (late early Miocene) to be 27 registered for the last time in the Chasicoan SALMA (late Miocene), and represents the 28 youngest record of the family Peltephilidae.
