Mylodonopsis is an extinct genus of ground sloth, containing a single species, Mylodonopsis ibseni from the Late Pleistocene of Brazil. It is a member of the family Mylodontidae. Although only known from fragmentary remains, it has been proposed to be closely related to Mylodon.[1] It is suggested to have been a mixed feeder (both browsing and grazing).[2]
