Euphractinae is a subfamily of armadillo in the family Chlamyphoridae. It contains the following genera:[1]
- Chaetophractus, hairy armadillos
- Euphractus, six-banded armadillos
- Zaedyus, pichis
Extinct genera include:[2]
Taxonomy
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]
