Tsintaosaurini is a tribe of basal lambeosaurine hadrosaurs native to Eurasia. It currently contains only Tsintaosaurus (from Shandong, east China) and Pararhabdodon (from Spain and France).Koutalisaurus, also known from late Cretaceous Spain and formerly referred to Pararhabdodon , may also be a tsintaosaurin because of its association with the latter genus; some recent work also suggests it may indeed be referrable to Pararhabdodon.
