Nanoastegotherium is an extinct genus of cingulate, belonging to the family Dasypodidae, which includes the modern nine-banded armadillos. The name of the genus means "small Astegotherium", referring to its small size, smaller than the modern southern long-nosed armadillo, and to its affinities with Astegotherium, with which it forms the tribe , within the family Dasypodidae. Its type species is Nanoastegotherium prostatum, whose species translates to "earlier" due to its age compared to Astegotherium.

dbo:abstract
  • Nanoastegotherium es un género extinto de mamífero cingulado perteneciente a la familia de los dasipódidos, que engloba a los actuales armadillos. El nombre del género significa en griego "pequeño Astegotherium" refiriéndose a su pequeño tamaño (menor que el actual armadillo mulita, Dasypus hybridus) y a su parentesco con , con el que forman la tribu dentro de la familia Dasypodidae. La especie tipo es N. prostatum, cuyo nombre traduce "anterior" por ser más antiguo que Astegotherium.​ Los restos de esta especie provienen del yacimiento fósil de La Venta, en la formación La Victoria, en la zona central de la actual Colombia, a mediados del Mioceno. Sus restos, que aparecieron entre los coprolitos (excremento fosilizado) de un cocodrilo, constan de las piezas óseas del caparazón de la zona de la espalda (osteodermos) y la coraza de la cola o tubo caudal. Dichas placas son escudos fijos que se caracterizan por su forma rectangular con grandes perforaciones sobre la superficie de los mismos, midiendo cada escudo unos 4 a 7 milímetros de largo y 3 a 4.5 milímetros de ancho. Aparentemente, Nanoastegotherium es un pariente cercano de un género de armadillo del Mioceno de Argentina en la formación Sarmiento, , al que se parece en las características de sus osteodermos.​ (es)

Its type species is Nanoastegotherium prostatum, whose species translates to "earlier" due to its age compared to Astegotherium. Remains of this species comes from La Venta, a location of La Victoria Formation, from central Colombia, dated from the Middle Miocene. Its remains, discovered among the coprolites of crocodiles, consist of the osteoderms of its back and of a caudal tube. These osteoderms were characterized by their rectangular shape with large perforations on their surface, each osteoderms measuring between 4 and 7 millimeters long and 3 to 4.5 millimeters wide. Nanoastegotherium was apparently closely related with . (en)
