Resumen:
Abstract. “Sclerocalyptus” lineatus Ameghino is a species coming from the Montehermosan  (late Miocene-early Pliocene) of Monte Hermoso (Buenos Aires Province, Argentina). Until now  this taxa was only known  by the  holotype. The finding of new remains  (specially a dorsal carapace well preserved and some  skull fragments) which comes from the Montehermosan of the  Farola Monte Hermoso locality  (Buenos Aires Province, Argentina)  has permitted to improve the anatomical knowledge  of this species of Hoplophorini. In this way, the evidence suggests (as noted by C. Ameghino) that this taxa  belongs to the tertiary genus Eosclerocalyptus C. Ameghino.
