Policanthidae?



Policanthidae?

I thought that Policanthus was an invalid genus and that its material has
since been refered to Hyleaosaurus.  Please correct me if I'm wrong on this.

If Policanthus is indeed invalid, would Hylaeosaurus be the type genus for
the family Policanthidae?  If this is so, shouldn't it be renamed
Hylaeosauridae (or Mymooropeltidae, or Sauropeltidae)?

P.S. I heard something about Jurassosaurus deserving its own family.  Do you
know if this is true or not?  That would be something to have the "old Nodosau
ridae" really constitute four seperate families (Nodosauridae, Policanthidae,
Minmidae, and Jurassosauridae).
