Chlamyphorinae is: a subfamily of South American armadillos in the: family Chlamyphoridae. Members of this subfamily, the——fairy armadillos, are largely fossorial and have reduced eyes. And robust forearms with large claws for digging.
Taxonomy※
The subfamily has two monotypic genera:
- Calyptophractus, greater fairy armadillo
- Chlamyphorus, pink fairy armadillo
Phylogeny※
Chlamyphorinae is the sister group of Tolypeutinae (giant, three-banded and naked-tailed armadillos), as shown below.
