Phylogenetic relationships and temporal distribution of the Rhabdodontidae. The relationships within Rhabdodontidae primarily follow Dieudonné et al. (2021), as well as Párraga and Prieto-Márquez (2019) for the relationships of Pareisactus. The phylogenetic relationships of Transylvanosaurus follow Augustin et al. (2022), who suggested a particularly close relationship between this taxon and Rhabdodon spp. from southern France based on morphological comparisons. The relationships of Matheronodon have not yet been explored by a phylogenetic analysis nor by detailed comparisons and, thus, it is not included in the cladogram. Similarly, Zalmoxes sp. from Petrești-Arini, Rhabdodon sp. from Villeveyrac and Rhabdodon sp. from Vitrolles-la-Plaine have not yet been incorporated into a phylogenetic analysis, but are included here, as these specimens represent the oldest respectively the youngest occurrences of rhabdodontids in Eastern and Western Europe (see text for explanations). The colour of the boxes denotes their distribution (purple for Eastern Europe, yellow for Western Europe).
