Abstract
During a study to characterize the medium and large-sized mammal community of the Tijuca National Park (3953 ha; Rio de Janeiro state), we registered for the first time the naked-tailed armadillo (Cabassous sp.). From April to September 2016, 42 camera-traps were set in the area, resulting in a total effort of 4302 trap-days. From the 1434 independent records obtained, five were of Cabassous sp. Two species of naked-tailed armadillo occur in Brazil, C. tatouay and C. unicinctus. Both of their distribution limits are uncertain and Cabassous C. tatouay is considered data deficient. Unfortunately, it was not possible to identify precisely the species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
