abstract
The continental Caliente Formation of the Cuyama Valley badlands, Ventura County, California, contains eight superposed local faunas that range in age from the Hemingfordian to the Hemphillian (middle to late Miocene). In ascending stratigraphic order, these local faunas include the Hidden Treasure Spring (late Hemingfordian), West Dry Canyon (late Hemingfordian), Lower Dome Spring (early Barstovian), Upper Dome Spring (late early Barstovian), Doe Spring (late Barstovian), Mathews Ranch (early Clarendonian), Nettle Spring (late Clarendonian), and Sequence Canyon (Hemphillian) local faunas. Two newly recognized genera of camels, Cuyamacamelus and Paramiolabis, are recorded from the Caliente Formation. Cuyamacamelus is morphologically distinct from all other known camel genera and is of uncertain affinities. Paramiolabis is a miolabine related to Miolabis. Paramiolabis and Miolabis are herein reassigned to the Miolabinae. Three new species of camel are recognized from the Caliente Formation (Cuyamacamelus jamesi, Paramiolabis taylori, and Miolabis fricki). Other species are assigned to Hesperocamelus sp., cf. H. alexandrae (Davidson), and Aepycamelus, sp. indet.
