Cingulata is one of the two orders within the Superorder Xenarthra. The classic morphological systematic scheme of Cingulata comprises two main clades: Dasypodoidea, consisting of living and extinct armadillos, and Glyptodontoidea, a monophyletic group that includes the extinct glyptodonts and pampatheres, A considerable number of paleoneurological studies on the South AmericanCenozoic mammal fauna, many of which focused on xenarthrans, were carried outin the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
