}}Catonyx is an extinct genus of ground sloth of the family Mylodontidae, endemic to South America during the Pleistocene epoch.[1] It lived from 2.5 Ma to about 10,000 years ago, existing for approximately {{Mya|2.5-0.010|million years}}.[2] The most recent date obtained is about 9600 B.P.[3][4] TaxonomyCatonyx was named by Ameghino (1891). It was assigned to Scelidotheriinae by Gaudin (1995).[5] Fossil distributionFossils have been uncovered in Brazil and the San José Formation of Uruguay.
