Bactrosaurus
Bactrosaurus (; meaning "Club lizard," "baktron" = club + sauros = lizard) is a genus of herbivorous hadrosauroid dinosaur that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous, from about 96 to 85 million years ago. The position Bactrosaurus occupies in the Cretaceous makes it one of the earliest known hadrosauroids, and although it is not known from a full skeleton, Bactrosaurus is one of the best known of these early hadrosauroids, making its discovery a significant finding.
Altirhinus
Altirhinus (; "high nose") is a genus of hadrosauroid ornithopod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous period of Mongolia.
Telmatosaurus
Telmatosaurus (meaning "marsh lizard") is a genus of basal hadrosauromorph dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Romania. It was relatively small for its group, measuring approximately in length and in body mass, which has been explained as an instance of insular dwarfism.

Hadrosauroidea
Hadrosauroidea is a clade or superfamily of ornithischian dinosaurs that includes the "duck-billed" dinosaurs, or Hadrosauridae, and all dinosaurs more closely related to them than to Iguanodon. Their remains have been recovered in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas. Many primitive hadrosauroids, such as the Asian Probactrosaurus and Altirhinus, have traditionally been included in a paraphyletic (unnatural grouping) "Iguanodontidae". With cladistic analysis, the traditional Iguanodontidae has been largely disbanded, and probably includes only Iguanodon and perhaps its closest relatives.

Eolambia
Eolambia (meaning "dawn lambeosaurine") is a genus of herbivorous hadrosauroid dinosaur from the early Late Cretaceous of the United States. It contains a single species, E. caroljonesa, named by paleontologist James Kirkland in 1998. The type specimen of Eolambia was discovered by Carole and Ramal Jones in 1993; the species name honors Carole. Since then, hundreds of bones have been discovered from both adults and juveniles, representing nearly every element of the skeleton. All of the specimens have thus far been found in Emery County, Utah, in a layer of rock known as the Mussentuchit Membe

Probactrosaurus
Probactrosaurus (meaning "before Bactrosaurus") is an extinct genus of basal hadrosauroid iguanodontian dinosaur that lived in China during the Early Cretaceous period.

Gilmoreosaurus
Gilmoreosaurus (meaning "Charles Whitney Gilmore's lizard") is a genus of hadrosauromorphan dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Asia. The type species is Gilmoreosaurus mongoliensis, known from the Iren Dabasu Formation of Inner Mongolia, dating to 96 million years ago. Additional specimens have been described as distinct species, including G. atavus from the Khodzhakul Formation of Uzbekistan, and G. arkhangelskyi from the Bissekty Formation, also of Uzbekistan. However, these are based on very fragmentary remains, and their classification is dubious. An additional species, G. kysylkumense,

Tethyshadros
Tethyshadros ("Tethyan hadrosauroid") is a genus of hadrosauroid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous (Campanian) Lipica Formation (previously thought to come from the younger informal "Liburnia Formation") of Trieste, Italy. The type and only species is T. insularis.
Arstanosaurus
Arstanosaurus (meaning "Arstan lizard" after the Arstan well) is a genus of hadrosauroid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous-aged (Santonian-Campanian) Bostobe Formation of Kazakhstan. It has had a confusing history, being considered a hadrosaurid, a ceratopsid, or both at the same time (chimeric).

Claosaurus
Claosaurus ( ; Greek κλάω, klao meaning 'broken' and , sauros meaning 'lizard'; "broken lizard", referring to the odd position of the fossils when discovered) is a genus of hadrosauroid dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period (Santonian-Campanian) of what is now North America. The type and only known valid species is Claosaurus agilis. Traditionally classified as an early member of the family Hadrosauridae, a 2008 analysis found Claosaurus to be outside of the clade containing Hadrosaurus and other hadrosaurids, making it the closest non-hadrosaurid relative of true hadrosaurids
Jeyawati
Jeyawati (meaning "grinding mouth" in the Zuni language) is a genus of hadrosauroid dinosaur which lived during the Turonian stage of the Late Cretaceous. The type species, J. rugoculus, was described in 2010, based on fossils recovered in the U.S. state of New Mexico.

The type and only species is R. suranareae, named after Thao Suranari, a 19th-century war heroine. It was considered by one study to be a nomen dubium, diagnosed with characters widespread in Styracosterna.
Penelopognathus
Penelopognathus (meaning "wild duck jaw") is a genus of hadrosauroid dinosaur which lived in the Early Cretaceous Bayin-Gobi Formation in what is now China. The discovery of this taxon contributes to the hypothesis that hadrosauroids originated in Asia. The type species, Penelopognathus weishampeli, named after David Weishampel, was described by Godefroit, Li, and Shang in 2005, based on fragmentary jaw fossils.

Lophorhothon atopus
Lophorhothon is a genus of hadrosauroid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Alabama, and possibly Georgia and North Carolina. It was the first dinosaur genus discovered in Alabama, in the United States.

It is known from partial skulls, maxillae, dentaries and numerous bones of the postcranial skeleton.

Orthomerus
Orthomerus (meaning "straight femur") is a genus of dubious hadrosaurid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of the Netherlands. It is today an obscure genus, but in the past was conflated with the much better known Telmatosaurus.

Bolong
Bolong (meaning "Bo's dragon") is a genus of iguanodontian dinosaur known from the Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation of western Liaoning Province, China. It lived about 125 million years ago in the earliest Aptian.

Siamodon is an extinct genus of iguanodontian ornithopod dinosaur from Early Cretaceous deposits of northeastern Thailand.

Koshisaurus
Koshisaurus is a monospecific genus of basal hadrosauroid from the Kitadani Formation in Japan. The discovery of the genus suggests that hadrosauroids had higher diversity along the eastern margin of Asia in the Early Cretaceous. "Koshi" means an old Japanese regional name including Fukui prefecture where fossils of the genus were discovered.
Choyrodon
Choyrodon is a genus of hadrosauroid dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous (Albian) Khuren Dukh Formation of Mongolia. The type and only species is Choyrodon barsboldi. The generic name is derived from the city of Choyr, and -odon, from Latin for tooth; the specific name barsboldi honours paleontologist Rinchen Barsbold. The material consists of a holotype partial skull and cervical ribs, with two other partial skulls both with associated postcranial material. It was found to be the sister taxon of Eolambia.

Huehuecanauhtlus
Huehuecanauhtlus is a genus of hadrosauroid dinosaur known from the Late Cretaceous (Santonian stage) of Michoacán, western Mexico. It contains a single species, Huehuecanauhtlus tiquichensis.
Batyrosaurus
Batyrosaurus is an extinct genus of herbivorous basal hadrosauroid dinosaur known from the Late Cretaceous Bostobe Formation (Santonian to Campanian stage) of central Kazakhstan. It contains a single species, Batyrosaurus rozhdestvenskyi. It is possible that Batyrosaurus represents the same taxon as the doubtful Arstanosaurus akkurganensis as both were found from the same formation.
Gongpoquansaurus
Gongpoquansaurus (meaning "Gongpoquan reptile") is an extinct genus of basal hadrosauroid dinosaur that was not formally named until 2014, while the name was a nomen nudum for many years previously.

Hadrosauromorpha
Hadrosauromorpha is a clade of iguanodontian ornithopods, defined in 2014 by David B. Norman to divide Hadrosauroidea into the basal taxa with compressed manual bones and a pollex, and the derived taxa that lack them. The clade is formally defined in the PhyloCode as "the largest clade containing Hadrosaurus foulkii, but not Probactrosaurus gobiensis". This results in different taxon inclusion depending on the analysis.
Portellsaurus
Portellsaurus (meaning "Portell Lizard") is a genus of hadrosauroid dinosaur from the Lower Cretaceous Margas de Mirambell Formation of Spain. The genus contains a single species, Portellsaurus sosbaynati, known from a partial right dentary.
== Discovery and naming ==
Portellsaurus was discovered in 1998 by Miquel Guardiola, Julián Yuste and Silvia Fabregat in a site near Mas de Curolles. The generic name, Portellsaurus, comes from the Portell de Morella, the town where the holotype was recovered, and the specific name, sosbaynati, refers to Vicente Sos Baynat, a Spanish geologist who was the

Kryptohadros
Kryptohadros () is an extinct genus of hadrosauroid ornithopod dinosaur known from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian age) Densuș-Ciula Formation of Romania. The genus contains a single species, Kryptohadros kallaiae, known from a partial skull and skeleton. Phylogenetic analyses revealed Kryptohadros is closely related to the coeval Transylvanian Telmatosaurus and the Italian Tethyshadros, together forming a group of southeastearn European-endemic taxa, called the Telmatosauridae. Kryptohadros is the second named non-hadrosaurid hadrosauroid from the Hațeg Basin, following Telmatosaurus, whic
