Heterodontosauriformes are a group of herbivorous dinosaurs within the order Ornithischia. The taxon was named by Xu "et al" in 2006 to group the suborder Marginocephalia with the family Heterodontosauridae (previously classified as ornithopods), after the discovery of "Yinlong" revealed the two to be closely related.cite journal |last=Xu X. |coauthors=Forster, C.A.; Clark, J.M.; and Mo J. |year=2006 |title=A basal ceratopsian with transitional features from the Late Jurassic of northwestern China |journal=Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences |volume=273 |pages=2135–2140 |doi=10.1098/2006.3566 ]
