- New well-preserved remains of the megalonychid sloth Eucholoeops Ameghino, 1887 recovered under strict stratigraphic control from late Early Miocene Santa Cruz Formation (c. 19 to 14 Ma; Santacrucian Age), together with analysis of older collections, consideration of intraspecific variation in extinct and extant sloths, and assessment of the validity of the early literature on Santacrucian sloths, permit revision of the status of the numerous species erected for this genus. The current contribution deals with the systematics of E. ingens Ameghino, 1887, but its methodology provides a basis for revision of other Eucholoeops species, as well as other sloth genera recovered from the Santa Cruz Formation. The failure to make progress on the systematics of the Santacrucian taxa since their first description is shown to be due mainly to a combination of the poor quality of many of the specimens, which are often fragmented and incomplete and from older collections, as well as inadequate stratigraphic and geographic control of their recovery, an overly rigid reliance on the early literature that accompanied their descriptions, and lack of consideration for intraspecific variation. A neotype is designated for E. ingens, as the original specimen is no longer available. The species E. latirostris Ameghino, 1891, E. externus Ameghino, 1891, and E. curtus Ameghino, 1894 are considered as junior synonyms of E. ingens.
L’étude de nouveaux restes découverts sous un stricte contrôle stratigraphique et appartenant au paresseux mégalonychidé Eucholoeops Ameghino, 1887 provenant de la fin du Miocène inférieur de la Formation San Cruz (c. 19 à 14 Ma, âge Santacruzien) ainsi que l’observation d’anciennes collections, l’évaluation de la variation intra spécifique chez les paresseux actuels et fossiles et l’évaluation de l’exactitude de la littérature ancienne traitant des paresseux santacruziens, a permis de reconsidérer le statut de nombreuses espèces érigées pour ce genre. Les études menées actuellement sur le sujet traitent principalement de la systématique d’E. ingens Ameghino, 1887. L’étude de sa morphologie génère une nouvelle base pour la révision des autres espèces d’Eucholoeops, mais également pour les autres genres de paresseux qui proviennent de la Formation Santa Cruz. L’absence de progrès significatifs de notre connaissance de la systématique des taxons santacruziens depuis leur première description est principalement due à la mauvaise qualité de nombreux spécimens, souvent fragmentaires et incomplets et provenant de collections anciennes, mais également à l’insuffisance de contrôle stratigraphique et géographique lors de leur découverte, à la dépendance trop rigide à la littérature qui a accompagné leurs descriptions ainsi qu’à la non considération de la variation intraspécifique. Comme le spécimen originel d’E. ingens n’est plus disponible, un néotype a été désigné pour cette espèce. Les espèces E. latirostris Ameghino, 1891, E. externus Ameghino, 1891 et E. curtus Ameghino, 1894 sont considérés comme synonymes d’E. ingens.
