1966 A. S. Romer Vertebr. Paleontol. (ed. 3) xxii. 261/1 Macrauchenia..of the Pliocene and Pleistocene was the last surviving member of the order and the most highly developed of a second family of litopterns.

1997 M. J. Benton Vertebr. Palaeontol. (ed. 2) 317 Some litopterns have the nostrils set well back in the skull roof, which almost certainly indicates the presence of an elephant-like trunk, as seen in the superficially camel-like Macrauchenia from the Pleistocene.
