The new species of small glyptodont you refer to is pachyarmatherium leiseyi. By the way, I have collected some scutes from this animal in a late Pliocene/early Pleistocene site in coastal S.C. Here is a link with a photo of the animal's scute:

: I live in and collect mammal fossils in Florida. Florida has two larger fossil armadillo's. I know what the small armadillo "Dasypus bellus" looks like and what there body armor scutes look like. My question is this. What is the difference between Holmesina septentrionalis / Holmesina floridanus? What is the difference in there body armor scutes?
: Also there is a small glyptodont with 3/4" to 1" body armor scutes does any body know the science name and age?
