Most uncited genus names are taken from Olshevsky's "Dinosaur Genera List". [1] Non-dinosaur dinosauromorphs and non-avebrevicaudan avialans are also listed by Olshevsky, but are omitted from this list as they are not considered "non-avian dinosaurs" in most published sources.
According to correspondence through the Dinosaur Mailing List, the former name (from a 2012 study) was the one intended to be use for an official description. After being discovered in 2005, it was first mentioned named in an unpublished manuscript written in 2007. The given species was named "T. sifengensis".
There is no official, canonical list of pterosaur genera, but the most thorough attempts can be found at the Pterosauria section of Mikko Haaramo's Phylogeny Archive, [1] the Genus Index at Mike Hanson's The Pterosauria, [2] supplemented by the Pterosaur Species List, [3] and in the fourth supplement of Donald F. Glut's Dinosaurs: The Encyclopedia series.
Scientific name: The binomial name of the species, accompanied by a citation to the work in which the species was formally named. Status: The taxonomic status of the species, listing whether the species is currently regarded as valid, a nomen dubium, or as synonymous with another species. Authors: The list of people credited with naming the ...
On this list, the type species of a genus is only noted when it belongs to a genus with multiple referred species, such as Dryosaurus or Parasaurolophus. Furthermore, when an animal is different enough from its close relatives that it is given its own family , it is conventional in dinosaur systematics to name a family after the first described ...
Dinosaur classification began in 1842 when Sir Richard Owen placed Iguanodon, Megalosaurus, and Hylaeosaurus in "a distinct tribe or suborder of Saurian Reptiles, for which I would propose the name of Dinosauria." [1] In 1887 and 1888 Harry Seeley divided dinosaurs into the two orders Saurischia and Ornithischia, based on their hip structure. [2]
A 2016 estimate put the number of dinosaur species living in the Mesozoic at 1,543–2,468, [24] [25] compared to the number of modern-day birds (avian dinosaurs) at 10,806 species. [26] Extinct dinosaurs, as well as modern birds, include genera that are herbivorous and others carnivorous, including seed-eaters, fish-eaters, insectivores, and ...
On this list, the type species of a genus is only noted when it belongs to a genus with multiple referred species, such as Stegosaurus or Tarchia. Furthermore, when an animal is different enough from its close relatives that it is given its own family , it is conventional in dinosaur systematics to name a family after the first described, most ...
