Recently, Barasoain et al. (2020) described a new genus and species of a chlamyphorine (Cingulata, Chlamyphoridae), Chlamyphractus dimartinoi, from the upper Miocene of southwestern Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. This description documents the first fossil record of a ?fairy armadillo.? However, the generic name proposed by the authors had previously been used to nominate a fossil glyptodont (Cingulata, Glyptodontidae), Chlamyphractus Castellanos, 1940. SYSTEMATIC PALEONTOLOGYMagnorder XENARTHRA Cope, 1889Order CINGULATA Illiger, 1811Family CHLAMYPHORIDAE Pocock, 1924Subfamily CHLAMYPHORINAE Bonaparte, 1850CHLAMYDOPHRACTUS, gen. nov.Chlamyphractus Barasoain, Tomassini, Zurita, Montalvo, and Superina, 2020:figs. 2, 4?6, 8.Type Species?Chlamyphractus dimartinoi Barasoain, Tomassini, Zurita, Montalvo, and Superina, 2020. Etymology?Chlamydophractus, from the Ancient Greek, Chlamydo (a variation of Chlamy, meaning cloak, mantle) and phractus (derived from phraktos, meaning fortified, armored). This new name maintains the original purpose of combining the generic names of the two extant genera of Chlamyphorinae, Chlamyphorus Harlan, 1825, and Calyptophractus Fitzinger, 1871. Diagnosis?Chlamyphorinae of large size compared with Chlamyphorus and Calyptophractus. Elongated mandible with eight oval molariforms, with their main axis oriented toward the lingual side; the eighth molariform is partially covered by the vertical ramus of the mandible. Intersection between the horizontal and the vertical rami results in an angle of ca. 130°, versus the ca. 90° seen the extant taxa. Dorsal carapace formed by bands of fixed and mobile osteoderms, in both cases longer, wider, and thicker than in the extant taxa. Well-defined ornamentation pattern in both fixed and mobile osteoderms, similar to that in extant taxa, but in Chlamyphorus and Calyptophractus the ornamentation is only observable in the keratinous coat that covers the osteoderms. Curved mobile osteoderms, with important development of the articular portion, whereas the extant taxa show flat osteoderms with an articular portion scarcely developed (
