Paraloris is an extinct genus ofomomyidprimate fromPaleogeneEurope.[1]
Paraloris is odd compared to othermicrochoerines, bearing many traits unique to the genus.Paraloris has low crowned molars with smooth enamel, contrasting the wrinkled enamel patterning ofNecrolemur. Due to these basal traits,Paraloris is often found at the base of most phylogenies made of Microchoerinae.[2]
