First record of Nopachtus coagmentatus (Xenarthra, Glyptodontidae) for the Catamarca Province, Argentina. Revision of the genus Nopachtus

Nopachtus coagmentatus was recognized by Ameghino in 1888. Holotype comes from Brochero Formation (Montehermosan-Chapadmalalan [early Pliocene-late Pliocene]), near to Villa Cura Brochero (Córdoba). First find of this species for the Catamarca Province is reported. Remains found are described, its p...
