†Dromomerycinae†Aletomerycinae The Dromomerycidae is an extinct family of Neogene ruminants belonging to the infraorder Pecora.

Dromomerycidae has a long history of uncertain taxonomic affiliations due to its superficial resemblances with the Eurasian Neogene Palaeomerycidae and were traditionally classified as subfamilies within the family.

However, recent research differentiates the dromomerycids from the Giraffomorpha (Giraffoidea and Palaeomerycoidea) by the lack of sutures on the skull roof that typically make up the ossicones of the later clade.

These traits may have been typically characteristic of males but appear to have been present in both sexes of Aletomeryx.

Dromomerycids may have been dense woodland and open bushlands/grasslands dwellers that mainly browsed on non-grass vegetation.
