• Koleken genus
• Koleken inakayali species

Cited by genera

• Abelisaurus

  Recovered Abelisaurus within Majungasaurinae (weakly supported).

• Arcovenator

  Recovered Arcovenator within Brachyrostra rather than Majungasaurinae.

• Eoabelisaurus

  Recovered Eoabelisaurus among the basal branches of Abelisauridae by parsimony, but outside Abelisauroidea, as sister to Xenotarsosaurus, in a Bayesian analysis; both results are weakly supported.

• Genusaurus

  Could not place Genusaurus, pruning it from the consensus as an unstable taxon.

• Guemesia

  Listed Guemesia among furileusaurian abelisaurids without scoring it in the analysis.

• Huinculsaurus

  Prunes Huinculsaurus as one of the unstable taxa that collapse the ceratosaurian ingroup.

• Koleken
• Kurupi

  Listed Kurupi among furileusaurians and recovered it as an unstable taxon pruned from the consensus.

• Rahiolisaurus

  Found Rahiolisaurus unstable, pruning it from the consensus.

Cited by clades

• Abelisauridae

  Described a new abelisaurid from the end Cretaceous of Patagonia, noting the family's occurrence across Gondwana and in Europe.

• Elaphrosaurinae

  Recovered Elaphrosaurinae as an early branch of Noasauridae in parsimony and Bayesian analyses, the latter with Limusaurus moved into Noasaurinae.

• Majungasaurinae

  Recovered Abelisaurus within Majungasaurinae and argued the subfamily is a junior synonym of Abelisaurinae.
