   Dinosaur Genera List corrections #28 Nov. 1995 details that this is a
misspelling of "Honghesaurus", and that both were early, unofficial names
for *Yandusaurus hongheensis*.

> Luanpingosaurus
    Dinosaur Genera List corrections #77 Aug. 1997 says this name was
found in a faunal list with no further classification than dinosaurian,
so Dinosauria i.s. is a good place for it.

> Macroscelosaurus
   The ever-ready *Dinosaurs-The Encyclopedia* considers this form to be
non-dinosaurian.

> Qinlingosaurus
   *Qinlingosaurus* and *Shanyangosaurus* were briefly mentioned in the
Dinosaur Genera List corrections #65, Dec. 1996.  *Qinlingosaurus* is a
sauropod of some sort, and *Shanyangosaurus* is apparently a small
theropod with possible unicate processes.

> Sanchusaurus
    "Sanchusaurus" is an informally named large Japanese ornithomimid
based on a partial caudal vert.  Dong, Hasegawa, and Azuma 1990 refer to
it as *Gallimimus* sp. in *The Age of Dinosaurs in Japan and China*.

> Shanyangosaurus
   See *Qinlingosaurus*
