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?
