Paramacrauchenia is an extinct genus of proterotheriid litopterns from the Early Miocene of what is now Argentina and Chile . Its fossils have been found in the Sarmiento and Santa Cruz Formations of Argentina and Chile.[1][2][3]
Taxonomy
Paramacrauchenia was originally assigned to the family Macraucheniidae,[4] however, recent studies now consider it a member of the family Proterotheriidae, where it is found to be a derived member, closely related to Lambdaconus.[5][6]
Below is a phylogenetic tree of the Proterotheriidae, based on the work of McGrath et al. 2020.[5]
