Brachylophosaurus (type genus) | |
Brachylophosaurini is a tribe/clade of saurolophine hadrosaurs with known material being from N. America and potentially Asia. It contains at least three taxa; Acristavus (From Montana and Utah), Brachylophosaurus (From Montana and Alberta.), Maiasaura (Also from Montana.). The Amur Hadrosaur Wulagasaurus might be a member of this clade, but this is disputed. The group was defined by Terry A. Gates and colleagues in 2011.[1][2]
Brachylophosaurini was defined as "Hadrosaurine ornithopods more closely related to Brachylophosaurus, Maiasaura, or Acristavus than to Gryposaurus or Saurolophus".[1]
