It was recombined as Paratylopus primaevus by Scott (1940), McKenna (1966), Prothero (1996) and Honey et al. (1998).

Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| D. R. Prothero 1996 | Medium-sized camel (M1-3 length = 39-41 mm, P3-M3 length = 64-65 mm), slightly larger than Paratylopus labiatus, but with more robust skull and more reduced premolars. Differs from Gentilicamelus sternbergi in that it is slightly smaller with less reduced premolars and less robust skull. Differs from species of Paralabis and Pseudolabis in having much lower-crowned teeth which are small relative to the size of the skull. |
