Hesperocamelus is an extinct genus of terrestrial herbivore in the family Camelidae, endemic to North America from the Miocene.[1]
Hesperocamelus was named by Macdonald (1949). It was assigned to Camelidae by Macdonald (1949) and Carroll (1988).[2][3] Its name comes from the Ancient Greek: ἕσπερος (hésperos, "western")[4] and κάμηλος (kámelos, "camel"),[5] Latinised.
