Parasaurolophini is a tribe of derived lambeosaurine hadrosaurids that are native to Asia, N. America, and probably Europe. It is defined as everything closer to Parasaurolophus walkeri than to Lambeosaurus lambei.[1] It currently contains Charonosaurus (from the Amur River.), Parasaurolophus (from Utah, New Mexico, Montana and Alberta), and possibly Blasisaurus and Arenysaurus (both from Spain)[2]
