Abstract
Armadillos are poorly studied in Bolivia and there is little information on their ecology, natural history, and distribution in the country. Here we increase the knowledge of the geographic distribution of two species of armadillos, Dasypus septemcinctus and Euphractus sexcinctus, with new camera trap-derived distribution records in northwestern Bolivia, in the department of La Paz. These new records are the westernmost records of the geographic distribution of both armadillos and are also new records for Madidi National Park and Natural Area of Integrated Management.
