[Prieto-Márquez, 2010]Definition
Saurolophus osborni and all taxa more closely related to it than to Lambeosaurus lambei or Hadrosaurus foulkii.
Etymology
Saurophinae is derived from the Greek "sauros" (lizard), "lophos" (crested), and the Latin "inae" (representing a subfamily; in this case, of Hadrosauridae).
