:-) If, then *Nuoerosaurus* (a spelling I've seen), not -oeu-. Because nur
would be transcribed as nuo'er in Chinese.

Yeah, that sounds right. I was going from memory. In any case, it's a fool's errand trying to chase down the 'proper' spelling of nomina nuda. Nomina nuda are an unmitigated nuisance. It should be a rule that publication of genera before they are scientifically described is an offense, with the offenders sentenced to translating the Completed and Unabridged Works of Stephan Pickering.
