I have. The paleoanthropologists use the term "hominin" to describe a 
member of the tribe Hominini (you know those bipedal primates that used 
to have a family all of their own). If this is correct then I guess the 
terms we are looking for (as horrible as they might sound) are Albertosaurin 
and Tyrranosaurin.
