該分類群第一個被發現的成員是分離龍,由古生物學家巴納姆·布朗命名於1910年。[1]四年後,加拿大古生物學家勞倫斯·賴博命名了鉤鼻龍。[2]隨後,人們立即意識到這兩個分類群之間的相似性,在整個二十世紀,後一個屬的有效性受到懷疑,有人認為二者是同一物種。[3][4]直到20世紀90年代,它們才被確認為不同的屬。[5]大約在這個時候,與之相關的鴨嘴龍類如納秀畢吐龍[6]和獨孤龍[7]被發現,對該分類群的現代解釋開始發展。[8]
該分類群由麥可·布雷特·蘇爾曼於1989年首次作為一個族提出。[8]2014年阿爾伯特·普里托·馬爾克斯首次將其定義為「鴨嘴龍中最為獨有的一個分支,包括:納瓦霍分離龍(Brown,1910年)、著名鉤鼻龍(Lambe,1914年)和奧氏納秀畢吐龍(Hunt與Lucas,1993年)」。[9]
