Names first published here

• Sinocephale genus
• Sinocephale bexelli species

Cited by genera

• Amtocephale

  Recovered Amtocephale in an unresolved pachycephalosaurine polytomy.

• Homalocephale

  Considers its phylogenetic position uncertain because the known material is juvenile.

• Microceratus

  Places the type locality north of the Yellow River in Nei Mongol, refuting the Minhe Formation attribution, and assigns its red sediments to the lower Ulansuhai Formation.

• Sinocephale

  Recovers it as a Prenocephale-grade pachycephalosaurine, with weak support for its position within the subfamily.
