Chlamyphorinae is a subfamily of South American armadillos in the family Chlamyphoridae. Members of this subfamily, the fairy armadillos, are largely fossorial and have reduced eyes and robust forearms with large claws for digging.{{cite journal | last1=Moller-Krull|first1= M.|last2=Delsuc|first2=F.|last3=Churakov|first3=G.|last4=Marker|first4= C.|last5= Superina|first5=M.|last6=Brosius|first6=J.|last7=Douzery|first7=E.
