Re: Mesozoic Dinosauria Genus & Species List 2008

Thanks Daniel, I've incorporated all the changes.

I'll also provisionally include _Nedoceratops_ Ukrainsky, 2007 as a valid 
genus, as a replacement name for the preoccupied _Diceratops_ Lull, 1905.  I'm 
surprised that Ukrainsky didn't rename _Microceratops_ Bohlin, 1953 as well.

Duriavenator_ Benson, 2008 is the valid name of the genus that has 
_Megalosaurus hesperis_ as its type species.  "Walkersaurus" (previously 
proposed as a new genus for _M. hesperis_) is a nomen nudum.  More on this 
later, because the author of "Walkersaurus" continues to press his case that 
his name is valid, and has seniority over _Duriavenator_.  (It doesn't, because 
"Walkersaurus" was never a valid genus.)
