The order Artiodactyla consists of 349 extant species belonging to 132 genera. This does not include hybrid species or extinct prehistoric species. Modern molecular studies indicate that the 132 genera can be grouped into 23 families; these families are grouped into named suborders and many are further grouped into named clades, and some of these families are subdivided into named subfamilies.
The four summarized Artiodactyla taxa are divided into ten extant families: [26] The camelids ( Tylopoda ) comprise only one family, Camelidae . It is a species-poor artiodactyl suborder of North American origin [ 27 ] that is well adapted to extreme habitats—the dromedary and Bactrian camels in the Old World deserts and the guanacos , llamas ...

Protoceratidae was erected by Othniel Charles Marsh in 1891, with the type genus Protoceras and assigned to the Artiodactyla. [3] [4] [5] It was later assigned to Pecora, [6] and more recently to Ruminantia [7] [8] or Tylopoda. [9] However, recently a relationship to chevrotains in the infraorder Tragulina has been proposed. [8]
