Info
Ischyrosaurus (Hulke, 1874 vide Lydekker, 1888 / Cope, 1869) > Ischyrosaurus manseli (Hulke [ex-Lydekker, 1888] ) >> Ornithopsis manseli (Hulke [ex-Lydekker, 1888])
This genus was created by Hulke in an unpublished manuscript circa 1874 for British sauropod remains, which Lydekker noted in his 1888 catalogue of fossil reptiles in the British Museum. So Lydekker \\\\\\\"outed\\\\\\\" Hulke\\\\\\\'s name.
It is, however, preoccupied by Cope\\\\\\\'s 1869 Ischyrosaurus (in the Extinct Batrachia volume), which is a junior synonym of Ischyrotherium that Cope tried to create when he learned that his Ischyrotherium was not mammalian but a reptile.
