Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. Prieto-Marquez et al. 2013Lambeosaurine hadrosaurids possessing jugal with orbital margin wider than infratemporal margin and concomitant constricted ventral margin of infratemporal fenestra; nasal articulation surface of frontal shaped into dorsoventrally thickened, tongue-like platform that projects caudodorsally to overhang the parietal in adults; rostrocaudally shortened ectocra- nial surface of frontal, with length/width ratio less than 0.4; ilium with short postacetabular process, ratio between length of postacetabular process and length of the central plate up to 0.8; ischium with ratio between length of the ischial shaft and length of the distal ventral expansion of 0.25 or greater; and long axis of ‘boot-like’ distal process rostroventrally directed, inclination starting at dorsal margin of process.
