“…of eastern China, Jaxartosaurus from the Santonian of Kazakhstan, and Amurosaurus from the Maastrichtian of eastern Russia [15][16][17]36]. Other Asian lambeosaurines are derived forms from the Maastrichtian of eastern Russia and northeastern China (Charonosaurus, Olorotitan, Sahaliyania) [12,14,17]. Nipponosaurus is known from the Santonian-Early Campanian of the Sakhalin Island (now Russia) [32], but its phylogenetic position and status remain controversial [8,17,19].…”

A new hadrosaurid dinosaur, Arenysaurus ardevoli gen. et sp. nov., from the Late Maastrichtian of Aren (Huesca, South-central Pyrenees) is described on the basis of a partial, articulated skull, mandibular remains and postcranial elements, including vertebrae, girdle and limb bones. Arenysaurus is characterized by having a very prominent frontal dome; nearly vertical prequadratic (squamosal) and jugal (postorbital) processes, and deltopectoral crest of the humerus oriented anteriorly. Moreover, it possesses a unique combination of characters: short frontal (length/width approximately 0.5); midline ridge of parietal at level of the postorbitalsquamosal bar; parietal excluded from the occiput; squamosal low above the cotyloid cavity. A phylogenetical analysis indicates that Arenysaurus is a rather basal member of Lambeosaurinae and the sister-taxon to Amurosaurus and the Corythosaurini-

“…In terms of quality and quantity of available material, the hadrosauridae are perhaps the best known dinosaur group and boast an impressive array of both solid and hollow supracranial crests (e.g. Alexander 1989;Godefroit et al 2003;Horner et al 2004). It is therefore appropriate to consider that these complex cranial structures served a pivotal role in terms of both physical and vocal courtship displays, while acting as signals to promote copulation specifically within a given species (Hopson 1975;Molnar 1977).…”

Although substantially older (Santonian-Campanian) than the occurrence of P. isonensis, the other significant dinosaurian faunal connection between Asia and the European archipelago is the presence of neoceratopsians (Godefroit and Lambert, 2007;Lindgren et al, 2007).…”

“…Given the similarity of the jugal facet of the maxilla, it seems likely that Pararhabdodon isonensis sported a similar jugal. The anterior jugal of Olorotitan ararhensis (Godefroit et al, 2003), and Hypacrosaurus altispinus (e.g., ROM 789) is also anteroposteriorly narrow and posterodorsally oriented, but its articulation with the maxilla is not elevated significantly above the ectopterygoid shelf.…”

“…Tong-Buffetaut (1993, 1995) reexamined the original material of Tsintaosaurus spinorhinus, and demonstrated that it belonged to a crested lambeosaurine as originally described (Young, 1958). New discoveries and new interpretations have since revealed an abundance of Asian lambeosaurines (Godefroit et al, 2000(Godefroit et al, , 2001(Godefroit et al, , 2003Godefroit et al, 2004a;Alifanov et al, 2004).…”

a b s t r a c tWe present new anatomical information showing that Koutalisaurus kohlerorum, from the Maastrichtian of Lleida Province, northeastern Spain, is most probably the junior synonym of Pararhabdodon isonensis from the same region. Dentary and maxillary characters previously considered as autapomorphies of K. kohlerorum and P. isonensis, respectively, are shown to be synapomorphies uniting the latter with Tsintaosaurus spinorhinus from the Campanian of the Wangshi Group, Shandong Province, China.This study provided conclusive evidence of the presence of the Lambeosaurinae in Europe. Tsintaosaurus spinorhinus and Pararhabdodon isonensis were inferred to form a clade of basal lambeosaurines characterized by a maxilla with an elevated articular facet for the jugal (continuous with the ectopterygoid ridge) and an extremely medially projected symphyseal region of the dentary. This clade originated in Asia during the middle or late Campanian. Pararhabdodon isonensis or its ancestors migrated from Asia to the Iberian island of the European archipelago. Reconstruction of ancestral areas by Fitch parsimony attributes the European occurrence of P. isonensis to a single dispersal event from Asia no later than middle to late Campanian.
