Rhabdodontids were herbivorous ornithopod dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous Period. Rhabdodontids were similar to large, robust hypsilophodonts, with deep skulls and jaws. The family was first proposed by David B. Weishampel "et al". in 2002. The rhabdodontids were defined as "the most recent common ancestor of "Zalmoxes robustus" and "Rhabdodon priscus" and all the descendants of this common ancestor". In 2005, Paul Sereno defined the family as "the most inclusive clade containing "Rhabdodon priscus" but not "Parasaurolophus walkeri". The Rhabdodontidae includes the type genus "Rhabdodon", "Zalmoxes", and possibly "Mochlodon". All rhabdodontid fossils have been found in Europe in formations dating to the Late Cretaceous, 84 to 65 million years ago.
