Scaglia (mammal)

Scaglia is an extinct genus of South American astrapotherid land mammal that lived during the Eocene (Casamayoran to Divisaderan in the SALMA classification).
Etymology.
The genus was named after Argentinian naturalist Galileo Juan Scaglia, and the type species after Argentinian palaeontologist Lucas Kraglievich.
Description.
Its type specimen, recovered from the Sarmiento Formation of Argentina, is MMCNT-MdP 207. Like "Albertogaudrya", "Scaglia" was the size of a sheep or a small tapir, hence among the larger mammals in South America at that time.
