Parasaurolophini is a tribe of derived corythosaurian lambeosaurine hadrosaurids that are native to Asia, and North America. It is defined as everything closer to Parasaurolophus walkeri than to Lambeosaurus lambei.[1] It currently contains Adelolophus (from Utah), possibly Angulomastacator (from Texas), Charonosaurus (from China), Parasaurolophus (from Utah, New Mexico, China and Alberta) and Tlatolophus (from Mexico).
