Madsenius, an informal name for Allosaurus "jimmadseni"

The page http://staff.washington.edu/eoraptor/Carnosauria.htm notes that the type species for "Madsenius" was going to be "Madsenius trux", as indicated by Olshevsky ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/paleo_bio_dinosaur_ontology/message/6655). However, there is no word on the status of "Madsenius", and so I'm suggesting that "Madsenius" may represent an individual of Allosaurus "jimmadseni". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.194.116.63 ( talk) 01:42, 3 January 2007 (UTC). reply

This page needs a Taxobox, doesn't it? "Madsenius" belongs to the kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, class Sauropsida, superorder Dinosauria, order Saurischia, suborder Theropoda, infraorder Tetanurae, superfamily Carnosauria, family Allosauridae. The Wyomingraptor page also needs a Taxobox. 72.194.116.63 15:39, 12 April 2007 (UTC) Vahe Dermirjian 08.38 12 April 2007 reply

It's a nomen nudum, though, and we've decided not to have those for nomina nuda . J. Spencer 22:27, 12 April 2007 (UTC) reply
Also Canosauria is not a superfamily, usually considered an infraorder. Superfamilies must end in -oidea. I think we're (maybe it's just me?) bucking Benton on his odd abandonment of most theropod infraorders and his giving that rank to the classic unranked clade Tetanurae.
