Another paper on _Pararhabdodon_ is:
Casanovas, M. L., X. Pereda-Suberbiola, J. V. Santafe & D. B. Weishampel.
1999.  First lambeosaurine hadrosaurid from Europe: palaeobiogeographical
implications. Geol. Magazine 136: 205-211.

Some of the lambeosaurine features in _Para._ are:
medial maxillary shelf; truncated, rounded maxillary-jugal contact;
deltapectoral crest of humerus projecting laterally and distally.
