I feel the need to repeat my request 
(http://theropoddatabase.blogspot.com/2010/03/asilisaurus-and-how-not-to-name-new.html)
 to not "use a Linnaean rank suffix if your intent is to name a rankless 
taxon".  In this case, priority isn't an issue so it's a bit different than the 
Silesauridae example (in which it turned out Lewisuchidae was a nomen nudum 
anyway).  But still, why use a tribe suffix if you don't mean to name a tribe?  
It just confuses matters and everyone assumes it's a tribe anyway as seen by 
the attempts to correct the spelling.  Just call it Paratypothoracia or 
Paratypothoraces or something.
