which was to include the supposedly related genera Deinocheirus and Therizinosaurus - I'd add a footnote here (using the efn|1= format) to clarify current thoughts on their (distant) relationship
It doesn't, but the arms aren't really that similar, they're just big, which was apparently enough to group them together back then... The hands and claws are very different.
