Paraloris is an extinct genus of omomyid primate from Paleogene Europe.

Description

Paraloris is odd compared to other microchoerines, bearing many traits unique to the genus. Paraloris has low crowned molars with smooth enamel, contrasting the wrinkled enamel patterning of Necrolemur. Due to these basal traits, Paraloris is often found at the base of most phylogenies made of Microchoerinae.
