edentata

teeth

Edentata (meaning toothless, because the members do not have front incisor teeth or molars, or have poorly-developed molars) is an outdated classification: It mistakenly grouped anteaters, sloths, armadillos, ground sloths, glyptodonts ,pampatheres together with the pangolins and aardvarks. It was subsequently realized that Edentata contained unrelated families and was thus invalid by cladistic standards.

An order of mammals including the armadillos, sloths, and anteaters that have no incisor teeth.
