Jeholosauridae is an extinct group of herbivorous neornithischian dinosaurs from the Cretaceous Period (Aptian - Cenomanian). The family was first proposed by Han et al. in 2012. The jeholosaurids were defined as all neornithischians more closely related to Jeholosaurus shangyuanensis than to Hypsilophodon foxii , Iguanodon bernissartensis , Protoceratops andrewsi , Pachycephalosaurus wyomingensis , or Thescelosaurus neglectus . The Jeholosauridae includes the type genus Jeholosaurus , and also possibly Yueosaurus , Changchunsaurus , and Haya . [1] [2] [3]
The cladogram below results from analysis by Herne et al., 2019, which added Changchunsaurus and Haya to Jeholosauridae, but moved Yueosaurus to the sister family Thescelosauridae. [3]
