Cited by genera

• Homalocephale

  Still regards the synonymy with Prenocephale as plausible.

• Nanotyrannus

  Pro-validity: distinct taxon differing from T. rex in >150 characters; histology interpreted as mature subadults; phylogenetic analyses suggest Nanotyrannus may lie outside Tyrannosauridae.

• Stygivenator

  Finds the type differs from Nanotyrannus lancensis in several cranial characters, raising the possibility of a distinct lineage.

• Tyrannosaurus
