Latirhinus (meaning "broad nose" from the Latin latus (broad) and Greek ῥίς, rhis (nose)) is an extinct genus of lambeosaurine^[1] hadrosaurid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Mexico. The type species, Latirhinus uitstlani, was named in 2012 on the basis of a partial skeleton from the Campanian-age Cerro del Pueblo Formation. The specific name uitstlani means "southern" in the Náhuatl language of Mexico, a reference to the species' southern occurrence in the Cretaceous landmass Laramidia. Latirhinus was originally thought to be similar to the saurolophine Gryposaurus. However, a recent study found it to be a lambeosaurine as well as a chimeric genus comprising both lambeosaurine and saurolophine remains.^[2]
