About
Iguanodontoidea is/was the same as Hadrosauriformes. Paul Sereno replaced the former with the latter in 1997 to avoid the confusion of having one taxon (Iguanodontoidea) contain another one (Hadrosauroidea) with the same "-oidea" suffix. Apparently, both names containing "hadrosaur" was seen as not such an issue.References
