We present a new altitudinal record of the Southern naked-tailed armadillo Cabassous unicinctus in Colombia based on video and photographic records obtained with camera traps inside a forest located at 1,200 m asl, close to Churumbelos Natural National Park, in the Andean foothills of the Amazon Basin of Colombia.Furthermore, we reviewed records of the species available in the literature and museums.We found that the species was previously known from less than 10 localities between 0 and 600 m asl.Our review of the records for this species in Colombia shows that our finding constitutes the highest elevation and the westernmost known record for this armadillo in the country.
