Yepes's mulita or the Yungas lesser long-nosed armadillo (Dasypus mazzai) is a speciesofarmadillo in the family Dasypodidae. It is endemictoArgentina and Bolivia. Its natural habitatissubtropical dry forests.[2] The species was renamed D. yepesi because the typeofD. mazzai was suspected to correspond of other species of Dasypus, which it was later proved wrong, becoming D. yepesiasynonymofD. mazzai.[3][4][5]
Yepes's mulita is found in the Jujuy and Salta provinces of Argentina, however its range may extend to parts of Bolivia and Paraguay. Due to the lack of data on the species, no more than nine populations are known. It is mostly found in altitudes of 450-1800m (1476 ft - 5905 ft). Its habitat ranges from deserts to humid forests.[6]
The species is known to be hunted locally for food.[6]
Because so little is known about Yepes's mulita, it is listed as "Data Deficient" by the IUCN. There is ongoing deforestation in its range and its habitat is considered fragmented, which adds to the conservation concerns.[7] The species has been designated for protection in Parque Nacional Calilegua and Parque Nacional El Rey in northern Argentina.[6]
