-Dental and postcranial fossil material referable to camelids, which has been recovered from Quaternary deposits that outcrop in the Valsequillo Basin, Puebla State, central Mexico, is formally described. A comparative study indicates the presence of two species of camelids, including Hemiauchenia macrocephala and Camelops hesternus. The sample referable to H. macrocephala includes maxillary and mandibular fragments, isolated teeth, and several postcranial remains (astragalus, metapodials, and proximal phalanges), which show the following diagnostic features of the species: molariforms covered by a layer of cementum; a mandible increasing in depth from p4 to m3; p4 triangular in outline; long and slender metapodials; and proximal phalanges with a W-shaped suspensory ligament scar. The sample referable to C. hesternus is represented by maxillary and mandibular fragments, isolated teeth, and metapodials, sharing with the species its large size; P4 quadrate in outline; p4 triangular in outline and simply folded; and a mandible that is significantly deeper from p4 to m3. A microwear analysis was performed in order to characterize the diet of studied samples, indicating a browser and mixed feeding behavior in H. macrocephala and C. hesternus respectively. The differences in size and trophic regimes in these species should explained the resource partitioning between them. In the late Pleistocene these camelids were common in Mexican sites between the 19°-25° N, and the record from the Valsequillo Basin is one of the few sites where both species have been reported. Key words: Camelidae, taxonomy, diet, geographic distribution, Valsequillo Basin, Quaternary.RESUMO -Material fóssil dentário e pós-craniano atribuído a camelídeos, recuperados de depósitos quaternários aflorantes na Bacia Valsequillo, Estado de Puebla, México central, é descrito formalmente. Um estudo comparativo indica a presença de duas espécies de camelídeos, Hemiauchenia macrocephala e Camelops hesternus. A amostra atribuída a H. macrocephala inclui fragmentos maxilares e mandibulares, dentes isolados, e vários restos pós-cranianos (astrágalos, metapodiais e falanges proximais), que mostram os seguintes caracteres diagnósticos da espécie: molariformes coberto por uma camada de cemento; uma mandíbula aumentando em altura do p4 ao m3; p4 de aspecto triangular; metapodiais longos e finos; e falanges proximais com uma cicatriz no ligamento suspensório em forma de W. A amostra atribuída a C. hesternus é representada por fragmentos maxilares e mandibulares, dentes isolados, e metapodiais, compartilhando com a espécie seu grande tamanho; P4 com aspecto quadrangular; p4 de contorno triangular e simplesmente dobrado; e uma mandíbula que é significantemente mais alta de p4 a m3. Uma análise de micro-desgaste foi realizada a fim de caracterizar a dieta de amostras estudadas, indicando hábito ramoneador e a alimentação mista em H. macrocephala e C. hesternus respectivamente. As diferenças de tamanho e regimes tróficos nestas espécies deve explicar a partil...

First reported occurrence of Palaeolama mirifica (Camelidae, Lamini) from the Late Pleistocene (Rancholabrean) of Puebla, central Mexico

Palaeolama was a relatively rare camelid in North America during the Pleistocene. Here we report the first occurrence of P. mirifica in the Late Pleistocene of Puebla, central Mexico. This is the southernmost record of P. mirifica in North America, and fills in a geographic gap with a record of the species in Costa Rica. The fossil-bearing unit is composed of silt, fine sand, and scarce pebbles. This unit is partially correlative with the alluvial sequence of Axamilpa, Puebla, considered to be MIS 2 -3 in age.
