Habanocnus is an extinct genus of ground sloth. It is also known as the Havana Sloth. It is  indigenous to Late Pleistocene Cuba. There is not much significant excavation of these spices with what we can get some identification. What we gather, we can only say that Acratocnus and Habanocnus are taxonomic synonyms. There is not much identificational difference between these to genus.
