What about other so-called megalosaurids like _Proceratosaurus_, 
_Marshosaurus_, _Metriacanthosaurus_, _Xuanhanosaurus_ (which, I 
think, has massive forearms and shoulders like _Torvosaurus_).

Sereno et al.'s paper on _Afrovenator_ classified _Eustreptospondylus_
as a torvosaurid, if I remember correctly.

One source (I think it was Lambert's _Ultimate Dinosaur_) listed
_Piatnitzkysaurus_ as an abelisaurid.  Any comments?

By the way, the paper on _Carcharodontosaurus_ and _Deltadromeus_
mentioned that at an abelisaur had been discovered in Africa.  Does
anyone have the details?
