Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
T. A. Gates et al. 2014Lambeosaurine hadrosaurid characterized by the following autapomorphies: maxilla with medial wall of the anterior process taller than in other lambeosaurines; maxillary medial wall of posterior process taller than in all known lambeosaurines, extending up to the dorsal process and sloping posteroventrally (causally placing the palatine process well above the position found in other lambeosaurines); thickened ridge extending from ventral articulation of jugal with maxilla posterodorsal to the palatine process.
