Cool...
Just in case someone wants to cite this: Rédéscription, théropode,
Normandie.

Just retype the diagnosis and send it to me or one of the many native
speakers on this list, I'd say. :-)

The - has been outlawed since by the ICZN (this rule is retained in the

At last someone figured out what *"Laelaps" gallicus* is!

Does this include Megalo-/Torvosauridae or not? In the latter case the whole

Which of the above remain nomina dubia?
