Cited by genera

  • Abelisaurus

    Recovered Abelisaurus as an unstable wildcard among the derived abelisaurids, not in a basal position, in their Ceratosauria phylogeny

  • Aucasaurus

    Gives the occurrence as "Auca Maheuvo, near La Escondida Mine, northeastern Neuquén Province".

  • Bahariasaurus

    Discussed Bahariasaurus only in comparison with Deltadromeus agilis; left its position unresolved (comparison only, not a scored analysis result).

  • Betasuchus

    Placed Betasuchus only as an indeterminate ceratosaur, not confidently abelisaurid

  • Coeluroides

    Found the material too fragmentary for specific diagnosis and argued the Lameta theropod assemblage is likely over-split, with Coeluroides possibly among only one or two abelisaurids present.

  • Deltadromeus

    Recovered Deltadromeus as a basal ceratosaur near Elaphrosaurus, explicitly rejecting a noasaurid position (12 extra steps).

  • Genusaurus

    Ceratosaurian phylogeny placed Genusaurus within Noasauridae rather than Coelophysoidea

  • Indosuchus

    Confirms the abelisaurid affinity, allows that the Lameta abelisaurids may be only one or two taxa, and finds the Indosuchus type the most distinct of them.

  • Lametasaurus

    Reads the sacrum, ilium and tibia as abelisaurid, the scutes as probably titanosaurian, and names Lametasaurus the senior of the likely synonyms Indosaurus and Rajasaurus.

  • Ligabueino
  • Ornithomimoides

    Refers Ornithomimoides mobilis to Abelisauridae and O.? barasimlensis to Noasauridae, and suggests several Lameta names represent one or two taxa.

  • Spinostropheus

    Ceratosaurian phylogeny supported placing the referred material within Ceratosauria

  • Tarascosaurus

    Keeps Tarascosaurus salluvicus as probably an abelisauroid, without autapomorphies.

Cited by clades

  • Abelisauridae

    Revised the phylogeny of Ceratosauria, noting unusually robust hind limb elements in certain abelisaurids.

  • Ceratosauria

    Phylogenetic monograph rediagnosing Ceratosauria (Ceratosaurus plus Abelisauroidea) and the source of its diagnostic characters.
