Out of all the hadrosaurs‭ (‬also known as the duck-billed dinosaurs‭) ‬Parasaurolophus is one of the most‭ ‬widely recognised thanks‭ ‬to its very distinctive skull crest.‭ ‬The name Parasaurolophus is a bit of a mouthful,‭ ‬but this is based around the early interpretation that Parasaurolophus was similar to another genus names Saurolophus‭ (‬which means‭ ‘‬lizard crest‭) ‬because Saurolophus also has a skull crest,‭ ‬though not as large or as ornate as Parasaurolophus.‭ ‬However under modern systematics,‭ ‬Parasaurolophus is classed as a lambeosaurine hadrosaurid because of the hollow crest,‭ ‬whereas Saurolophus is the type genus of the Saurolophinae‭ (‬previously Hadrosaurinae‭) ‬a sister group of hadrosaurids noted for having solid to no crests at all.‭ This means that Parasaurolophus and Saurolophus are in fact distantly related,‭ ‬but both are still called hadrosaurids because they both belong within the Hadrosauridae.‭ ‬Instead Parasaurolophus is more closely related to other lambeosaurines such as Hypacrosaurus,‭ ‬Corythosaurus and of course the type genus of the group,‭ ‬Lambeosaurus.‭ ‬Out of all lambeosaurines however,‭ ‬it is the Asian genus Charonosaurus that is thought to be one of the closest relatives of Parasaurolophus due to the strikingly similar head crest.
