No, the name Dinotyrannus is valid, but it is currently considered a junior
subjective synonym of Tyrannosaurus. Should the species Albertosaurus
megagracilis once again become generically distinct from Tyrannosaurus rex, the
name
Dinotyrannus is available for that species (if it's not in the genus
Albertosaurus, either).
