Vicugna is a genus containing two South American camelids, the vicuña and the alpaca.
Previously thought to be descended from the guanaco, the alpaca was reclassified as part of Vicugna after a 2001 paper on alpaca DNA. The paper showed that the alpaca is descended from the vicuña, not the guanaco, though considerable cross-hybridization has taken place between domesticated llamas and alpacas.
