Matthewlabis cedrensis

Matthewlabis cedrensis is an extinct species of camelid, a member of the family Camelidae in the genus Matthewlabis. It was first described by Matthew in 1901 and has since been placed in the genus Matthewlabis. The database dates the species to the Rupelian stage, between about 31.8 and 29.5 million years ago, from 2 fossil occurrence(s), collected in the United States (Nebraska, Colorado). 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 Wikipedia article on Matthewlabis, read for the genus, describes it as an extinct genus of camelid endemic to North America. The GBIF backbone taxonomy lists Matthewlabis cedrensis as an accepted species of the family Camelidae, which is the second source for the name.
