Riabininohadros is a genus of hadrosaurid from the Late Cretaceous in Ukraine. Its type species is R. weberae.
Taxonomic history
It was originally named Orthomerus weberi when first described by Anatoly Nikolaevich Riabinin in 1945 for hindlimb elements from an unnamed Maastrichtian-age formation in Crimea of what is now Ukraine (then a part of the Soviet Union).[1] These were found by G.F. Weber who is honoured in the specific name. As Weber was female Lev Nesov in 1995 emended the name to Orthomerus weberae.[2] Although tossed as a nomen dubium in recent reviews of Hadrosauridae,[3][4] it was given its own genus Riabininohadros ("Riabinin's hadrosaur") by Russian amateur paleontologist Roman Ulansky.[5]
