While looking through old dinosaur books on the Internet Archive, I found an interesting informal name used in The New Illustrated Dinosaur Dictionary from 1990. The name is "Kumming-Long" [sic], which is supposed to translate to "Kunming dragon". Based on the description of it as a Chinese crested theropod similar to Dilophosaurus, I think it is referring to "Dilophosaurus" sinensis asÂlater described by Hu (1993). I've also seen old posts on the DML that state the name "Kunmingsaurus" was used informally for "D." sinensis. I'm curious if anyone has more information about this.
