      "Aren't they similar in body plan to the groundsloths?"
      - you're misusing 'body plan', that's a much more general trait than what you mean. ALL vertebrates have the same body plan.
      - what you mean is specific morphological traits similar in each group (ground sloths and Chalicotheriidae). But they aren't closely related, the similarities are convergent evolution

    Since chalicotheres are hoofed mammals, chalicotheres do not have claws, they actually have large modified hooves that look like claws, they are sometimes known as saber-hoofed horses, despite this as well a being superficially horse-like, chalicotheres are not horses, the word "horse" refers exclusively to those under the nominate subgenus of the Equus genus, which is the sole extant genus of the family Equidae, similar to megaceropids being more closely related to horses than to rhinos despite being superficially rhino-like, chalicotheres are more closely related to rhinos and tapirs despite chalicotheres being superficially horse-like, this officially divides the Perissodactyla order into two suborders, Hippomorpha, which contains the equids and their extinct relatives such as megaceropids, lambdotheres, and palaeotheres and Ceratomorpha, which includes the rhinos and tapirs as well as extinct forms like the chalicotheres, hyracodonts, paraceratheres, and helaletids, Ceratomorpha is further split into two groups, which are Ancylopoda and Euceratomorpha.

    Off-topic discussion: Bovids are even-toed hoofed mammals that constitute the family Bovidae, there are over one-hundred-and-sixty-four extant species within seventy-two genera, ten subfamilies, and three major clades, the major clades are the primitive clade, the cattle-like clade, and the goat-like clade, bovids are the largest and most diverse family of living hoofed mammals, they are recognized by the possession of a single sharp end on each horn, meaning that the horns of bovids do not branch, this is present in both males and females, males tend to have longer horns than females, living bovids are only found in Africa, Eurasia, and North America, living bovids range in size from the royal antelope to the gaur.

      Or saber-hoofed horses for the whole family because of their large claw-like hooves, but despite the name and their superficially horse-like appearance, chalicotheres are more closely related to rhinos and tapirs and are classified with them under the suborder Ceratomorpha, similar to megaceropids being superficially rhino-like, but they are more closely related to equids than to rhinos and are classified with them under the suborder Hippomorpha.

      @Dr.IanPlect, the taxonomy I post is now officially correct, like for example with camels (family Camelidae), where there are just six extant species within four genera, two tribes, and a single extant subfamily, the six extant camel species are the Vicuna (Vicugna vicugna), the Alpaca (Vicugna pacos), the Guanaco (Lama guanicoe), the Llama (Lama glama), the Dromedary (Camelus dromedarius), and the Bactrian Camel (Oreocamelus bactrianus), all four extant camel genera are based solely on morphology, all six extant camel species within four genera constitute the subfamily Camelinae, which is further divided into two tribes being Lamini (Modern Humpless Camels) containing the genera Vicugna (Vicuna and Alpaca) and Lama (Guanaco and Llama) and Camelini (Humped Camels) containing the genera Camelus (Modern One-Humped Camels) and Oreocamelus (Two-Humped Camels), these four extant camel genera have many differences, for within the Lamini tribe, the differences between the genera Vicugna and Lama is that all species within the genus Vicugna have short snouts, while all species of the genus Lama have longer snouts, whereas within the Camelini tribe, the differences between the genera Camelus and Oreocamelus is that all species in the genus Camelus have just one hump, while all species of the genus Oreocamelus have two humps.
