Re: Coelophysis, Rioarribasaurus, Eocoelophysis



Then:
-COELOPHYSIS Cope, 1889
= Rioarribasaurus Hunt et Lucas, 1991 [nomen rejectum]
        Coelophysis bauri (Cope, 1887) sensu Colbert [nomen conservandum] Type
        Species
        Material:
        AMNH 7224 (Neotype)
        AMNH 7223
        UCMP 129618
        = Coelurus bauri Cope, 1887 [nomen conservandum]
          Rioarribasaurus colberti Hunt et Lucas, 1991 [nomen rejectum]

-EUCOELOPHYSIS Sullivan et Lucas, 1999 [nomen dubium]
        Eucoelophysis baldwini Sullivan et Lucas, 1999  Type Species
       Material:
        NMMNH P-22298: Hindlimb and pelvic fragments; vertebrae.
        SMP VP-453: Incomplete dorsal vertebra.
        SMP VP-456: Dorsal vertebra.
        SMP VP-462: ?Distal end of fibula.
        SMP VP-465: ?Distal end of fibula.
        SMP VP-468: Vertebrae (dorsal, caudal), hindlimb fragments.
        SMP VP-487: Dorsal vertebra.
        SMP VP-491: Distal portion of scapula.

-LONGOSAURUS Welles, 1984 [nomen dubium]
        Longosaurus longicollis (Cope, 1887) Type species
        Material:
        AMNH 2701
       AMNH 2702
        AMNH 2703
        AMNH 2704
        AMNH 2705
        AMNH 2706
        AMNH 2707
        AMNH 2708
        AMNH 2715
        AMNH 2716
        = Coelurus longicollis Cope, 1887
          Coelophysis longicollis von Huene, 1915 non Cope, 1887
          Coelophysis longicollis (Cope, 1887) [nomen dubium]
          Coelophysis bauri (Cope, 1887) sensu von Huene, 1915 [nomen oblitum]
          Tanystrophaeus bauri (Cope, 1887)

-"Tanystrophaeus" willistoni Cope, 1887 [nomen dubium]
        Material:
        AMNH 2726
        AMNH 2727 
        = Coelophysis willistoni (Cope, 1887)


But what is the following material?
        AMNH 2722
        AMNH 2717
        AMNH 2718
        AMNH 2719
        AMNH 2720
        AMNH 2721
        AMNH 2723
        AMNH 2724
        AMNH 2725

These were the original fossils of Cope's Coelurus bauri, but now? It's
again C.bauri? It's ascribed as C.longicollis? Or it's a new genus at all?
It's not possible that this material plus C.longicollis and C.willistoni
are the same genus?
