A short question concerning  _Chilantaisaurus_...

According to Molnar et al. in  _The Dinosauria_ (1990), Hu (1964) referred 
_Chilantaisaurus tashuikoensis_ and _C. maortuensis_ to the same 
genus because the tail vertebrae of the two species were very 
similar.  (No other material was common to the two species.)  
Yet as far as I can determine,, caudal vertebrae are not mentioned as part
of the holotype of _C. tashuikoensis_ (the type species for _Chilantaisaurus_). 
 

OK, maybe it's not such a short question.  Can anyone help me out?
