Camelinae is a subfamily of artiodactyls of the family Camelidae. Camelinae include the tribes Camelini and Lamini. A third tribe, Camelopini, created by S. D. Webb (1965), was formerly included, but was discarded by J. A. Harrison (1979) after it was shown to be polyphyletic: it consisted of the genera Camelops and Megatylopus , which were moved to Camelini and Lamini respectively. [1]
Camelinae was named by Gray (1821). Its type is Camelus . It was assigned to Camelidae by Stanley et al. (1994) and Ruez (2005). [2]
