Euphractinae is an armadillo subfamily in the family Chlamyphoridae.
Taxonomy
It contains the following genera:[1]
- Chaetophractus, hairy armadillos
- Euphractus, six-banded armadillos
- Zaedyus, pichis
Extinct genera include:[2]
Phylogeny
A mitochondrial DNA investigation has concluded that Euphractinae is the sister group of a clade consisting of Chlamyphorinae (fairy armadillos) and Tolypeutinae (giant, three-banded and naked-tailed armadillos)[3] along with extinct glyptodonts,[4] as shown below.
