Dinosaur Genera List corrections #51



The continued lack of finding a published reference in which the
"mononykosaur"

_Patagonykus puertai_ Novas, 1994

is formally described, together with the absence of this taxon from
Bonaparte's new book on South American dinosaurs, leads me to think that the
formal description has not yet been published. The only published reference I
know of is an abstract for one of the Argentine Gondwana symposiums. Thus,
change the status of _Patagonykus_ to _nomen nudum_:

Patagonykus Novas, 1994 [nomen nudum]

Genera count remains unchanged at 787.
