Macraucheniinae Explained

Macraucheniinae is an extinct subfamily of macraucheniids that lived from the Late Miocene and potentially the Early Holocene, consisting of all the derived genera.[1] [2]

Classification

Below is a cladogram proposed by Schmidt et al., (2014), showing the phylogenetic relationships between the genera of macraucheniines:[3]
