Names first published here

Cited by genera

  • Afrovenator

    Gives the permanent catalog number for the holotype, formerly held under a temporary University of Chicago designation.

  • Altispinax

    Places the vertebrae no more precisely than Tetanurae, excluding them from Spinosauridae and Carcharodontosauridae; treats them under the name Becklespinax altispinax.

  • Chienkosaurus

    Finds the teeth of Szechuanosaurus campi, with which the one theropod tooth of Chienkosaurus was synonymized, not diagnostic below Theropoda.

  • Chilantaisaurus

    Recovered Chilantaisaurus's affinities within Tetanurae in a broad theropod phylogenetic analysis.

  • Chubutisaurus

    Gives the teeth associated with the holotype as "derived from the Albian–Cenomanian Bayo Overo Member".

  • Concavenator

    Tetanurae phylogeny analysis placed Concavenator in its recovered position.

  • Cristatusaurus

    Considered Cristatusaurus an indeterminate baryonychine that almost certainly represents the same animal as Suchomimus.

  • Cryolophosaurus

    Recovered Cryolophosaurus as the earliest stem tetanuran.

  • Dubreuillosaurus

    Recovered Dubreuillosaurus as an afrovenatorine megalosaurid in its Tetanurae phylogeny.

  • Erectopus

    Suggested Erectopus may be a metriacanthosaurid but found no shared characters.

  • Eustreptospondylus

    Recovered Eustreptospondylus as the basalmost megalosaurid outside its two subfamilies.

  • Fukuiraptor

    Tetanurae phylogeny recovering Fukuiraptor outside Megaraptora among carcharodontosaurians.

  • Gasosaurus

    Recovered Gasosaurus as a basal tetanuran of indeterminate position in Tetanurae phylogeny.

  • Iliosuchus

    Gives the Taynton Limestone Formation for the Stonesfield material, superseding the Stonesfield Slate of the older literature.

  • Kaijiangosaurus

    Treated Kaijiangosaurus as a fragmentary taxon requiring restudy, suggesting a basal tetanuran or averostran placement and noting the referred material may not represent a single taxon.

  • Kryptops

    Considered Kryptops palaios a chimera and referred the postcranium (notably the pelvis and sacrum) to a carcharodontosaurid, possibly Eocarcharia.

  • Lourinhanosaurus

    Tetanuran phylogeny weakly allying Lourinhanosaurus with Coelurosauria.

  • Monolophosaurus

    Recovered Monolophosaurus as a basal tetanuran outside Megalosauroidea and Avetheropoda.

  • Neovenator

    Recovers Carcharodontosauria as Carcharodontosauridae plus Neovenatoridae, with Neovenator in the latter.

  • Poekilopleuron

    Tetanurae phylogeny tentatively recovered Poekilopleuron as an afrovenatorine megalosaurid.

  • Proceratosaurus

    Assigns the Minchinhampton Reservoir material to the White Limestone Formation of the Great Oolite Group.

  • Saurophaganax

    Retained Saurophaganax as a valid taxon in a phylogenetic analysis of Tetanurae.

  • Shaochilong

    Recovered Shaochilong as a derived carcharodontosaurid.

  • Shidaisaurus

    Tetanurae phylogeny allowing Shidaisaurus's possible Metriacanthosaurinae placement.

  • Siamosaurus

    Referred the teeth to ?Spinosauridae, finding too little material to support retention of the taxon pending associated skeletal remains.

  • Siamotyrannus

    Placed Siamotyrannus within Metriacanthosauridae as a metriacanthosaurine.

  • Sinosaurus

    Tetanurae phylogeny analysis recovered Sinosaurus as a basal tetanuran within Averostra

  • Sinraptor

    Assigned Sinraptor to Metriacanthosaurinae.

  • Streptospondylus

    Recovered Streptospondylus as Megalosauria incertae sedis.

  • Suchosaurus

    Referred Suchosaurus material to Baryonychinae but regarded it as a nomen dubium.

  • Szechuanosaurus

    Tetanurae phylogeny supporting reassignment of Szechuanosaurus material to Yangchuanosaurus.

  • Unquillosaurus

    Tetanurae phylogeny placed Unquillosaurus as a carcharodontosaurid based on its pubis.

  • Xuanhanosaurus

    Recovered Xuanhanosaurus within Metriacanthosauridae (incertae sedis), among the allosauroids.

Cited by clades

  • Afrovenatorinae
  • Allosauria
  • Allosauridae

    Revised Tetanurae, restricting Allosauridae to Allosaurus and Saurophaganax.

  • Avetheropoda

    Recovered Avetheropoda and treated Neotetanurae as its synonym in a classification of Tetanurae.

  • Baryonychinae

    Recovered Baryonychinae as a monophyletic clade in its Tetanurae phylogeny.

  • Carcharodontosauridae

    Found little support for a Giganotosaurus plus Mapusaurus clade in a phylogenetic revision of Tetanurae.

  • Megalosauria

    Applied Megalosauria to the node uniting Spinosauridae and Megalosauridae, with Streptospondylus as Megalosauria incertae sedis.

  • Megalosauridae

    Named Afrovenatorinae as a new megalosaurid subfamily.

  • Megalosaurinae

    Provided the phylogenetic definition and diagnosis of Megalosaurinae.

  • Megalosauroidea

    Defined Megalosauroidea as all taxa closer to Megalosaurus than to Allosaurus or Tyrannosaurus.

  • Megaraptora

    Recovered Megaraptora within Neovenatoridae (Carcharodontosauria) in its Tetanurae phylogeny.

  • Metriacanthosauridae
  • Metriacanthosaurinae

    Provided the phylogenetic definition and diagnosis of Metriacanthosaurinae.

  • Piatnitzkysauridae
