Good question.  I don't know.  I had assumed that _Gallimimus mongoliensis_ 
was valid, but I haven't actually read Kobayashi and Barsbold (2006).  I'll 
treat it as a nomen nudum (and remove it from the list) until I find out for 
sure.

Kobayashi, Y. and  Barsbold, R. (2006). Ornithomimids from the Nemegt 
Formation of Mongolia. J. Paleont. Soc. Korea 22: 195-207.

These nomina nuda are a real nuisance.  I'm not blaming Kobayashi and 
Barsbold, since the name had been floating around for a long time.

Cheers

Tim
