In Brazil, Glyptotherium findings occur mainly in the Northeastern region. In the northeast, Brazilian Intertropical Region (BIR), there are records of Glyptotherium of the Upper Pleistocene, mainly in the State of Pernambuco. This work reports new findings of Glyptotherium in a tank deposit from the Upper Pleistocene of Pernambuco, corresponding to isolated osteoderms and an astragalus which approaches in detail to North American forms. This record expands both the distribution of Glyptotherium to the BIR, and the data regarding the paleobiogeographic relations among the faunas of megamammals of the North of South America, Central America, and the South of North America during the Late Pleistocene.
