Probably paraphyletic?

At least according to [this paper], Hemiauchenia is paraphyletic, should this be included in the article? (pinging User:Jpbrenna) --Hemiauchenia (talk) 21:32, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That link is not working for me, but yes, that should at least be mentioned.--Jpbrenna (talk) 15:15, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jpbrenna I think I have got the link working now [[1]] in case the link doesn't work again, the paper is called The Camelidae (Mammalia, Artiodactyla) from the Quaternary of South America: Cladistic and Biogeographic Hypotheses, what do you make of the paper? --Hemiauchenia (talk) 17:03, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the link works now. I still can't read the full article, but at least I have the publication info and abstract. I am on my way to a university library as I write this, so I will try to obtain a full copy while I am there. I had already gleaned from other sources that Scherer was the one who proposed that the genus is paraphyletic. In the meantime, if you've already read it, please feel free to expand the article yourself. I have a dentist appointment after I go to the library, and several errands to run afterward. I have already started a new section for its classification history.--Jpbrenna (talk) 17:53, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
