RE: Pantydraco and the worst dinosaur name

[Brad McFeeters <archosauromorph2@hotmail.com>]

The worst dinosaur name is obviously *Megapnosaurus*, which is apparently so 
distasteful that hardly anyone uses it.  Or did I just miss the announcement 
that *Syntarsus* was never preoccupied after all?  (Tykoski & Rowe 2004 list 
*Megapnosaurus* as a junior synonym of *Syntarsus*, then proceed to use 
*Syntarsus* for the rest of the chapter... Carrano & Sampson 2008 use 
*Syntarsus* exclusively, without comment... ???)
*Pantydraco* at least has a cooler name than its close relative *Ignavusaurus,* 
the "coward lizard."
