Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
E. Jimenez-Hidalgo and O. Carranza-Castaneda 2010Limb bones exceedingly long and relatively slender (Dalquest, 1975). Limbs, especially distal elements, extremely elongated and slender as in Hemiauchenia and Aepycamelus giraffinus (Matthew in Matthew and Cook, 1909) but more than one and a half times as long as in Hemiauchenia (Honey et al., 1998).
