Which sense of Ankylosauridae is this, _sensu lato_ (including
Polacanthinae), or _sensu stricto_?

I use the former definition on my site, and it seems as though these
"-inae"'s would be changed to "-ini"'s under that system:

--+--Nodosauridae
  `--Ankylosauridae
     |--Polacanthinae
     `--+--Shamosaurinae
        `--Ankylosaurinae
           |--_Tsagantegia_
           `--+--Ankylosaurini
              |  |--_Ankylosaurus_
              |  `--_Euoplocephalus_
              |?-Stegopeltini
              |  |--unnamed San Diego form
              |  |--_Glyptodontopelta_
              |  `--_Stegopelta_
              `--Syrmosaurini
                 |--_Amtosaurus_
                 |--_Pinacosaurus_
                 |--_Shanxia_
                 |--_Talarurus_
                 `--+?-_Nodocephalosaurus_
                    |--_Saichania_
                    `--_Tarchia_

Is this correct? And where do _Maleevus_ and _Sauroplites_ go<<
I move Polacanthidae as its own family and different from Ankylosauridae.
