It had two tusks on either side of a trunk like other members of Gomphotheriidae. Its apparent range was from Venezuela southward to Argentina where fossils were recovered in the Suelo Formation, a quarry dig in Corrientes Province. It may have shared its habit with Notiomastodon based on genus age and geography. Fossil remains of Haplomastodon waringi have been found in Soatá in the department of Boyacá in Colombia.
