Pliauchenia vulcanorum

Pliauchenia vulcanorum is an extinct species of camelid, a member of the family Camelidae now placed in the genus Pliauchenia. It was first described under another genus name by Cope in 1875, and the Paleobiology Database records it as an extinct species of the order Artiodactyla, the even-toed ungulates. The database holds the name with no dated fossil occurrence of its own, so it gives no age range for the species. Its ecospace record gives a terrestrial, ground-dwelling way of life and a browsing or grazing diet, values taken from the wider family, since fossils of the species itself do not show how it fed. The GBIF backbone taxonomy lists Pliauchenia vulcanorum as an accepted species of the family Camelidae, which is the second source for the name.
