Habanocnus ("Havana sloth") is an extinct genus of ground sloth indigenous to Late Pleistocene Cuba. Some authors have proposed that the material of both named species (H. hoffstetteri and H. paulacouto) are not significantly distinguishable from Acratocnus antillensis, and so should be taxonomic synonyms.
