Paraloris is an extinct genus of omomyid primate from Paleogene Europe.^[1]

Description

Paraloris is odd compared to other microchoerines, bearing many traits unique to the genus. Paraloris has low crowned molars with smooth enamel, contrasting the wrinkled enamel patterning of Necrolemur . Due to these basal traits, Paraloris is often found at the base of most phylogenies made of Microchoerinae.^[2]
