Taxonomic remark Listed as tribe (Lagomerycini) of Cervidae in McKenna & Bell, although as family by some authors (also the Paleobiology DB, 2022 version). From Heckeberg, 2016: Lagomeryx-related artiodactyls possessed deciduous antlers based on our results and should be included within the total group Cervidae, presumably representing a separate clade of stem Cervidae indicated by their peculiar coronate antler morphology and supported by the topology of antler evolution presented here (Fig. 10).
