Paramiolabis tenuis

Paramiolabis tenuis is an extinct species of camelid, a member of the family Camelidae in the genus Paramiolabis. It was first described by Matthew in 1924 and has since been placed in the genus Paramiolabis. The database dates the species from the Burdigalian to the Serravallian stage, between about 18.5 and 12.5 million years ago, from 8 fossil occurrences, collected in the United States (Nebraska, California). 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 Paramiolabis tenuis as an accepted species of the family Camelidae, which is the second source for the name.
