Eulamaops parallelus is an extinct species of camelid, a member of the family Camelidae in the genus Eulamaops. It was first described by Ameghino in 1884 and has since been placed in the genus Eulamaops. The database lists no dated fossil occurrence for the species, so it is known to it only as a named taxon. Its ecospace record gives a terrestrial, ground-dwelling way of life and a browsing diet, values the database takes from the wider Camelidae clade, since fossils of the species itself do not show how it fed. The GBIF backbone taxonomy lists Eulamaops parallelus as an accepted species of the family Camelidae, which is the second source for the name.
