Two species of chlamyphorid armadillos, the naked-tailed armadillo ( Cabassous unicinctus ) and the giant armadillo ( Priodontes maximus ), are known to occur in the Yavarí-Ucayali interfluve, and no others could be expected to occur here on the basis of geographic range data. The two local chlamyphorid species are infrequently encountered by the Matses and neither is hunted for food. Although strikingly similar in certain aspects of external appearance, they differ greatly in size and behavior.
