The Subspecific Status of Two Central American S
This scientific paper presents a taxonomic study on two species of sloths from Central America. The research focuses on the morphological and osteological characteristics of these species to determine their subspecific status. The study reveals that one of the species exhibits distinct differences in its skull morphology, dental structure, and limb proportions compared to the other species. These findings support the classification of the two species into separate subspecies.

First lines
New name combinations for two kinds of Central American sloths that heretofore have stood in the literature as nominal species are given below, along with the evidence supporting their relegation to subspecific rank. Research assistance has been provided from a contract (NR 161-791) between the Office of Naval Research, Department of the Navy, and the University of Kansas.
