Onatops is the first brachylophosaurin reported from New Mexico and the southernmost occurrence of the clade, and a phylogenetic analysis places Ornatops in a trichotomy with Probrachyophosaurus and Brachylophosaurus, with Maiasaura and Acristavus as successive outgroups.

The results of both Dispersal Extinction Cladogenesis and Ancestral State Reconstruction analyses imply that the marine-influenced environment in North America during the Campanian may have played an important role for the hadrosaurid diversification in its early evolutionary history.

Comparisons with phylogenetic analyses from other studies show that a current consensus exists between the general structure of the hadrosaurid evolutionary tree, but on closer examination there is little agreement among species relationships.

A more complete documentation of the morphology of these specimens, along with an examination of variation during a large span of the development of saurolophine hadrosaurids, indicates that early ontogenetic stages may still provide a limited amount of character information useful for systematics and phylogenetic inference.

The high diversity and mosaic distribution of Maastrichtian hadrosaurid faunas in the Amur-Heilongjiang region are the result of a complex palaeogeographical history and imply that many independent hadrosaurusid lineages dispersed without any problem between western America and eastern Asia at the end of the Cretaceous.

The small triangular posteriorly oriented nasal crest of Probrachylophosaurus is proposed to represent a transitional nasal morphology between that of a non-crested ancestor such as Acristavus and the large flat posteriorlyoriented nasal crest in adult Brachylophosaurs.
