Kritosaurini

Kritosaurini (roughly equivalent to Gryposaurini[1]) is a clade of saurolophine hadrosaurid dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous.

A tribe Kritosaurini was first proposed by Michael Brett-Surman in 1989.[2]

The clade was first defined in 2013 by Albert Prieto-Márquez as "The most exclusive clade of hadrosaurids containing Kritosaurus navajovius Brown, 1910, Gryposaurus notabilis Lambe, 1914, and Naashoibitosaurus ostromi Hunt & Lucas, 1993".[3]
