Resumen:
Knowledge of the Early-Middle Pleistocene (Ensenadan Age/Stage ; ca. 1.80.4 Ma) South
American Glyptodontidae (Cingulata) is still poor compared with the Late Pleistocene-
Early Holocene taxa (Lujanian Age/Stage). This is especially true for the Glyptodontidae
Panochthini, in which it is possible to recognize two Ensenadan species from the Pampean
region of Argentina, Panochthus intermedius and P. subintermedius, known only by their
type material. Prior to this contribution, the knowledge of P. intermedius, a taxon with biostratigraphic
importance for being considered as a guide taxon of the Ensenadan Age/Stage
of South America, was limited to a dorsal carapace. The finding of an exceptional almost
complete specimen from the Early-Middle Pleistocene of Bolivia has allowed us to greatly
improve the morphological characterization of this species, and discuss some taxonomic
aspects related to the other Ensenadan Panochthini. This specimen represents the most
completely known Panochthini and one of the most complete Glyptodontidae from the
Early-Middle Pleistocene of South America.
