Synocnus

 

    The Lesser Haitian ground sloth is a single species (S. comes) which probably resembeled Acratocnus.   However, the genus is distinguished  by a distinctive tubercle found midway down the femur shaft and a femoral neck which is less outwardly curved.  It is thought to have weighed about 23 kg.
