Applying Sereno's definitions to Neotetanurae: Part 2



Based on the analysis in my prior e-mail, the following conclusions apply.

Summary of changes to definitions needed if all published phylogenies based on matrices are to maintain compositional accuracy. The taxa surrounded by asterisks are those I recommend adding or replacing Sereno's taxa with.

Allosauridae (Allosaurus fragilis <- Sinraptor dongi, Carcharodontosaurus saharicus, *Tyrannosaurus rex*, Passer domesticus)
Tyrannosauroidea (Tyrannosaurus rex <- *Allosaurus fragilis*, Ornithomimus edmontonicus, *Oviraptor philoceratops*, Troodon formosus, Velociraptor mongoliensis)
Compsognathidae (Compsognathus longipes <- *Tyrannosaurus rex*, Passer domesticus)
Alvarezsauridae (*Alvarezsaurus calvoi* <- Tyrannosaurus rex, Ornithomimus edmontonicus, Therizinosaurus cheloniformis, Oviraptor philoceratops, Troodon formosus, Passer domesticus)
Caenagnathoidea (*Caenagnathus collinsi* + Oviraptor philoceratops)
Caenagnathidae (*Caenagnathus collinsi* <- Oviraptor philoceratops, *Ornithomimus velox*)
Oviraptorinae (Oviraptor philoceratops *<* *Ingenia yanshini*)
Eumaniraptora (Deinonychus antirrhopus + Passer domesticus, - *Ornithomimus velox*)
Troodontidae (Troodon formosus <- *Tyrannosaurus rex*, Ornithomimus edmontonicus, *Oviraptor philoceratops*, Velociraptor mongoliensis, Passer domesticus)
Dromaeosauridae (Dromaeosaurus albertensis <- *Tyrannosaurus rex*, Ornithomimus edmontonicus, Troodon formosus, Passer domesticus)
Unenlagiinae (Unenlagia comahuensis <- Microraptor zhaoianus, Velociraptor mongoliensis, Dromaeosaurus albertensis, *Archaeopteryx lithographica*, Passer domesticus)
Archaeopterygidae (Archaeopteryx lithographica <- *Confuciusornis sanctus*, Passer domesticus)
Confuciusornithidae (Confuciusornis sanctus <- *Enantiornis leali*, Passer domesticus)
Enantiornithes (*Enantiornis leali* <- *Confuciusornis sanctus*, Passer domesticus)


Summary of published topologies based on matrices where two active names are objective synonyms, with the suggested preference given as: senior synonym > junior synonym. So if these ever need registered, there's a suggested order.

(Passer (Sinraptor, Carcharodontosaurus, Allosaurus, Tyrannosaurus)) Neotetanurae > Tyrannoraptora
(Passer (Ornithomimus, Tyrannosaurus)) Maniraptoriformes > Tyrannoraptora
(Tyrannosaurus, Shuvuuia, Therizinosaurus, Oviraptor, Troodon, Passer (Ornithomimus)) Ornithomimosauria > Ornithomimiformes
(Passer (Ornithomimus, Oviraptor)) Ornithomimiformes = Oviraptoriformes
(Nothronychus (Therizinosaurus, Beipiaosaurus)) Therizinosauridae > Therizinosauroidea
(Tyrannosaurus, Ornithomimus, Therizinosaurus, Troodon, Passer (Oviraptor)) Oviraptorosauria > Oviraptoriformes
(Passer (Ornithomimus, Oviraptor)) Maniraptora > Paraves
(Passer (Archaeopteryx, Deinonychus)) Aves > Eumaniraptora
(Passer (Archaeopteryx, Iberomesornis)) Aves > Ornithothoraces
(Passer (Archaeopteryx, Sinornis)) Ornithurae > Euornithes


Clades found in at least three published phylogenies based on separate matrices which currently lack an active name, with suggested names included. I didn't include phylogenies where a compositionally identical clade is named with the opposite kind of definition (node vs. stem). So for instance, if we have (Passer (Sinraptor, Allosaurus), a separate name for the Sinraptor + Allosaurus clade isn't needed because Allosauroidea (as defined Allosaurus <- Passer) covers it (though it's technically not the same clade). But if we have (Passer (Monolophosaurus (Sinraptor, Allosaurus))), the Sinraptor + Allosaurus clade lacks an applicable name. Only the latter cases are listed below.
