Two species are known, H. prodilatus from the middle Campanian of Alberta,[2] and H. dilatus from the late Maastrichtian and Paleocene of western North America. It is relatively common in the Lance Formation of Wyoming, and less common in the Hell Creek of Montana. DescriptionHabrosaurus was one of the largest lissamphibians of all time, comparable to modern giant salamanders at about 1.6 meters.[3] H. prodilatus possessed chisel-like teeth, while H. dilatus had bulkier crowns. The teeth of H. dilatus also exhibited heavy wear facets while those of H. prodilatus had only mild wear, suggesting that H. dilatus was more adapted for durophagy than H. prodilatus. H. dilatus may have preyed upon arthropods with hard carapaces as well as mollusks.[4]ClassificationHabrosaurus is a sister taxa to both Pseudobranchus and Siren.[5]References1. ^{{cite journal|last1=Gardner|first1=James D.|title=REVISION OF HABROSAURUS GILMORE (CAUDATA; SIRENIDAE) AND RELATIONSHIPS AMONG SIRENID SALAMANDERS|journal=Palaeontology|date=November 2003|volume=46|issue=6|pages=1089–1122}} {{Portal|Paleontology}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q5636962}}{{salamander-stub}}{{paleo-amphibian-stub}}2. ^"Gardner" 3. ^Bonett, R.
