How this group is defined here

Members are the 4 field notes whose family or immediate parent group in the Paleobiology Database catalogue is Hadrosauroidea. The interpreted diet field across the group is herbivore, based on skeletal features rather than direct observation. Groups are revised when new fossils are described, and some genera are placed here with less certainty than others, so each field note records its sources and limits.
