  <dc:description>The family-group name DASYPODIDAE Borner, 1919 (Insecta,  Hymenoptera) is a junior homonym Of DASYPODIDAE Gray, 1821  (Mammalia, Xenarthra).  It is proposed that the homonymy between the two names, which relate to short-tongued bees and armadillos respectively, should be removed by emending the stem of the generic name Dasypoda Latreille, 1802, on which  the insect familygroup name is based, to give DASYPODAIDAE, while leaving the mammalian name (based on Dasypus Linnaeus,  1758) unchanged.  Dasypus novemcinctus Linnaeus, 1758, the  type species of Dasypus, has a wide distribution in the southern United States, Central and South America.  The genus Dasypoda ranges throughout most of the Palearctic region.</dc:description>
