Names first published here

Cited by genera

  • Chialingosaurus

    Maintains Maidment and Wei's (2006) verdict that Chialingosaurus is a nomen dubium.

  • Chungkingosaurus

    Recovered Chungkingosaurus as the sister taxon of Huayangosaurus in Huayangosauridae in its Stegosauria phylogeny.

  • Craterosaurus

    Regards it as a nomen dubium; the excavation behind the prezygapophyses that Galton (1981) took as diagnostic also occurs in Kentrosaurus and Loricatosaurus and has been deepened by erosion.

  • Dacentrurus

    Gives the holotype's provenance as "Kimmeridge Clay (Kimmeridgian: Late Jurassic), Swindon, Wiltshire".

  • Huayangosaurus

    Recovers Huayangosaurus among the earliest stegosaurs, with Gigantspinosaurus the most basal, and defines Huayangosauridae as stegosaurs closer to Huayangosaurus than to Stegosaurus.

  • Hypsirhophus

    Treated Hypsirhophus discursus as a junior synonym of Stegosaurus armatus.

  • Kentrosaurus

    Systematics and phylogeny of Stegosauria recovered Kentrosaurus within Stegosaurinae.

  • Lexovisaurus

    Declares L. durobrivensis a nomen dubium after refuting Galton's proposed autapomorphies, and erects the new genus Loricatosaurus priscus for BMNH R3167 (previously referred to Lexovisaurus).

  • Loricatosaurus
  • Monkonosaurus

    Maintained Monkonosaurus lawulacus as a nomen dubium and listed the IVPP ilio-sacral block as Stegosauria indet.

  • Regnosaurus

    Found no stegosaurian synapomorphies in Regnosaurus material, reassigning it to indeterminate Thyreophora.

  • Scelidosaurus

    Stegosauria phylogeny recovering Scelidosaurus as sister taxon to Eurypoda.

  • Stegosaurus

    Alpha-level revision of Stegosauria; sinks Hesperosaurus and Wuerhosaurus into Stegosaurus (as S. mjosi and S. homheni). Both synonymies are contested in subsequent literature.

  • Wuerhosaurus

    Recombines the type species as Stegosaurus homheni, treating the genus as invalid, and regards Wuerhosaurus ordosensis as a nomen dubium.

  • Stegosauria

    Comprehensive systematic revision of Stegosauria.
