Type locality not given but Uruguay implied. Based on de Azara (1802). Dasypus hibridus Azevedo, El Achkar, Martins & Ximénez 1982:95. Incorrect spelling. Dasypus hybridus (Desmarest 1804) TAX: Class Mammalia; Subclass Theria; Infraclass Eutheria; Order Cingulata; Family Dasypodidae; Subfamily Dasypodinae (Myers et al 2006, Möller-Krull et al 2007). Seven species are recognised in this genus, three are present in Paraguay. Dasypus is derived from a Greek translation of the Aztec name "Azotochtli" which roughly means "tortoise-rabbit"; hybridus means "hybrid", presumably in reference to the supposedly "hybrid-appearance" of the species between either a tortoise and a rabbit, or else a tortoise and a mule (from Spanish common name "mulita"). The synonymy with Dasypus septemcinctus below refers to a period when the two species were regularly confused in the literature. This species is monotypic. Desmarest´s original description was based on "Le Tatou Mulet" of de Azara (1801). Synonyms adapted from Gardner (2007). ENG: Southern Long-nosed Armadillo (Superina & Aguiar 2006, Garnder 2007), Southern Lesser Long-nosed Armadillo (Redford & Eisenberg 1992). 39
