Genera

Tsintaosaurini is a tribe of basal lambeosaurine hadrosaurs native to Eurasia. It currently contains only Tsintaosaurus (from Shandong, east China) and Pararhabdodon (from Spain and France[1]).[2][3] Koutalisaurus, also known from late Cretaceous Spain and formerly referred to Pararhabdodon[4][5] , may also be a tsintaosaurin because of its association with the latter genus; some recent work also suggests it may indeed be referrable to Pararhabdodon.[6]
