Paratylopus labiatus

Paratylopus labiatus is an extinct species of camelid, a member of the family Camelidae in the genus Paratylopus. It was first described by Cope in 1881 and has since been placed in the genus Paratylopus. The database dates the species from the Priabonian to the Rupelian stage, between about 37 and 31.8 million years ago, from 10 fossil occurrences, collected in the United States (Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota). 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 Paratylopus labiatus as an accepted species of the family Camelidae, which is the second source for the name.
