*****SPAM***** Indosuchus sp. eytmology, please



Hi everybody,
I have a couple simple etymology and synonymy questions concerning Indosuchus (I already know all about the material and the works of Walker [1964] and Chatterjee [1978]).


What I'm curious about is the two (2) species. Firstly, the type species: *I. raptorius*. I assume raptorius means something like "Raptor-like" (or as Jordan Mallon's site said, "Thievish.")? Further research said "Raptorial" but I wanted to double check with you folks. :-)

Second, and lastly, *I. rawesi*. I found little-to-know info on this one, other then that it is synonymous with *Massospondylus rawesi* but it didn't say exactly in which direction. Is *I. rawesi* a junior synonym of *M. rawesi*? And if not, does anyone know who this name honors?

Any help will be appreciated,
Tommy Bradley :-)
