Pickering, 1995
Classification
Nomen Nudem
Fall Under
Allosaurus
Info
Allosaurus (Marsh, 1877) = Creosaurus (Marsh, 1878) Epanterias (Cope, 1878) Labrosaurus (Marsh, 1879) ?Saurophagus (Ray, 1941)
Allosaurus > Allosaurus fragilis (Marsh, 1877) Laelaps trihedrodon (Cope, 1877) Creosaurus atrox (Marsh, 1878) Epanteris amplexus (Cope, 1878) Hypsirhophus discurus (1) [partim] (Cope, 1878) Allosaurus lucaris (Marsh, 1878) Allosaurus ferox (Marsh, 1896) ?Saurophagus maximus (Ray, 1941) ?Labrosaurus ferox (Marsh, 1884) Camptosaurus amplus (Marsh, 1879) = Camptonotus amplus (Marsh, 1879) Allosaurus whitei (Pickering, 1995)
Allosaurus > ?Allosaurus tendagurensis (Janensch, 1925)
Allosaurus > Allosaurus europaeus (Mateus, Walen and Antunes 2006)
AMNH 666 TYPE + AMNH 5753 TOPOTYPE. Referred specimens:AMNH 275, 290, 324, 496, 600, 680, 704, 726, 728, 736-737, 851, 5752, 6125, 6128; MCZ 3897; UUVP 6000.
Allosaurus \\\"whitei\\\" (Pickering, 1996) was based on a skull with hyoid, presacral column, sacrum and pelvis (AMNH 666). It was diagnosed by the same characters Paul used to distinguish [A. \\\"atrox\\\"], so is invalid for the same reasons. Chure rejects the validity of the name, as Pickering didn\\\'t follow ICZN Article 7 Recommendation 7a, Article 8a or Recommendation 8A. It is therefore considered a nomen nudum in addition to being a junior synonym of Allosaurus fragilis.
