The Dinosaur Genera List became a standalone website on December 4, 2000
on America Online’s Hometown domain. AOL closed the domain down
on Halloween, 2008, so the List was carried over to the www.polychora.com
domain in early November, 2008. The final visitor count before AOL Hometown was closed
down was 93661, on October 30, 2008.
List last updated 10/8/14
Additions and corrections entered since the last update are in green.
Genera counts (but not totals) changed since the last update appear in green cells.
Download a PDF of this web page here.
Unfortunately, as of May 2011, Adobe changed its PDF-creation website
and no longer supports making PDFs directly from HTML files.
I finally figured out a way around this problem, but the PDF no longer preserves background colors,
such as the green backgrounds in the genera counts. Win some, lose some.

HIS ALPHABETIZED LIST comprises all dinosaur generic names based on skeletal
material known to have been published anywhere, with or without formal scientific
descriptions. Names printed in bold italics are scientifically valid; other names are
vernacular, preoccupied, or otherwise scientifically invalid. Occasionally it is found that two
different names have been given to the same genus. Such names are known as synonyms, and
instances of synonymy are annotated in the List (see Synonymies in List section below). Being a
synonym by no means invalidates a generic name, since the junior synonym is usually available in
case a synonymy is refuted or the senior synonym is found to be preoccupied.
The names appear in this List without regard to their validity or synonymy, but each name is
associated in some way, formally or informally, with real fossil material. Names of dinosaur
footprint and egg genera, however, or of fictional, fictitious, or fraudulent dinosaurs, are not
http://www.polychora.com/dinolist.html

included. Published Japanese common names, usually ending in “-ryu,” are not included unless they
have been Latinized elsewhere in print. Also not included are names that have appeared solely on
the Internet, or in e-mails, in advance of publication (there are usually four or five such floating
around at any particular time). Author(s) and year of publication are provided for each name, to
facilitate locating original references. For more information on any genus, simply enter its name into
a Google search, or subscribe to Tracy Ford’s Paleofile website.
Different authors with the same surname are distinguished by their initials or by entire first names if
initials are not sufficient. Prior to August 2007, the List did this haphazardly, particularly for
Oriental authors, but thanks to bibliographic research by Rob Taylor, I was able to make the entries
quite consistent throughout, with only a few remaining ambiguities (we are working on them). Also,
when an author has used different surnames in different references, I provide a consistent surname
throughout but indicate in parentheses the surname as it appears in the description, when it is
different. Chinese and Korean authors are standardly listed surname first, regardless of how their
names were cited. This should facilitate using the List in computer searches by author. Because
there are many, I have not indicated these changes with green text. A few typos may persist in the
additions for a while until they are caught and weeded out.
For the purposes of this List, a dinosaur is defined as any archosaur more closely related to modern
birds than to modern crocodylians that is not itself a true bird. I call the stem-based clade of
archosaurs more closely related to modern birds than to modern crocodylians Ornithes, the clade of
modern birds Aves (by tradition, the common ancestor of all extant birds together with all its
descendants), and the clade of true birds Avialae (by tradition, the common ancestor of modern
birds and Archaeopteryx together with all its descendants). If dinosaurs were defined here as a clade
instead of as the difference between two clades, then all birds would be dinosaurs, and the Dinosaur
Genera List would be obliged to include the names of thousands of fossil and extant bird genera
along with the names of the genera that most of us are accustomed to calling dinosaurs: interesting,
but probably not what one might be looking for as a list of dinosaur names.
So, according to this scheme, dinosaurs become “non-avialan ornithans.” But note that this
definition also includes what have been termed “pre-dinosaurs,” or “dinosaur precursors,” that is,
archosaurs on the stem that joins the common ancestor of crocodylians and birds to the most basal
known dinosaurs. So far, no convincing (to me) dinosaur precursors have been identified in the
fossil record, although many consider the lagosuchians from South America, and some others, to be
such. The successively more inclusive clades Dinosauriformes Novas, 1992 and Dinosauromorpha
Benton, 1985 have been created to include these forms as outgroups to Dinosauria, so those
archosaurs become “non-dinosaurian dinosauriforms” and “non-dinosauriform dinosauromorphs.”
To me, this is outrageous hairsplitting, particularly since the forms in these groups are few in
number and most appear to me to be basal theropods rather than basal dinosaurs. Until more
convincing arguments are published on why such forms should not be called dinosaurs, I’ll retain
them in the Dinosaur Genera List without further annotation. Perhaps later, when I perform a List
overhaul, I may annotate them as “precursor dinosaurs.”
This is the Mother of All Internet Dinosaur Lists. It was first posted to the Dinosaur Mailing List
(see archive) on October 23, 1995. Thereafter, it was gradually corrected and tuned to weed out
misspellings and other inappropriate generic names, eventually evolving into its present form.
Before October 1995, there was simply no complete list of dinosaur genera available on the Internet;
all the other Internet dinosaur lists, some with much additional information, sprang up after this one
became available. The initial Dinosaur Genera List tabulated 770 names, after a few nondinosaurian genera that had crept in were removed. The entire List was published as part of The
http://www.polychora.com/dinolist.html
10/8/2014
Dinosaur Genera List
Page 4 of 40
Dinosaur Folios #1 in May 1996, when it had grown to 787 names long. It was also published in
1997, when the name count stood at 806, at the back of Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs (P. Currie &
Padian, eds.). On or about May 24, 1997, the entire List, with the name count at 805, was posted on
the Dinogeorge website home page. There it remained until it became the present separate web page
on December 3, 2000, with the name count at 895.
The Dinosaur Genera List is freely available to anyone who desires to publish it in book or
magazine form, to link to it, or to display it at a website, provided only that George Olshevsky be
informed of such publication or Internet display, and be properly credited as compiler.

What are genera?
Genus (plural: genera) is a major category invented in the mid-1750s by the botanist Carolus
Linnaeus (or Karl von Linne) for his system of classifying nature. His Systema Naturae is still, more
than 250 years later, in use by naturalists and biologists worldwide. The lowest-ranking major
category is the species, and the genus is the next lowest-ranking major category. Originally,
Linnaeus simply grouped anatomically similar species into genera. Now, however, we understand
that organisms are similar because they evolved from an earlier common ancestor most of whose
features they retain. So a more modern definition of a genus would be: a group of species having a
closer common ancestor than other species in the same family.
To designate each species, Linnaeus combined two names into what is known as a species binomen.
The first part, or generic name, is the name of the genus to which the species belongs. The second
part, known as the species epithet or trivial name, uniquely distinguishes the species within the
genus. These names are Latinized, a relic of the days of Linnaeus, when Latin was the language of
science. In a species binomen, the generic name is always a Latinized noun, and the species epithet
acts as a Latin modifier of that noun. Some genera may include hundreds of species, others may
include only one species. Most dinosaur genera, however, include just one species, because of the
difficulty of distinguishing species among fossils. The generic name is the more important name, so
practically all dinosaurs are popularly known by just their generic names. (The one major exception,
of course, is Tyrannosaurus rex, in which Tyrannosaurus is the generic name and rex is the species
epithet. Everybody knows this dinosaur by its full species binomen.) Because of their importance in
dinosaur science, the Dinosaur Genera List collects in alphabetical order all the generic names ever
given to non-avian dinosaurs (that is, dinosaurs that are not also birds, or “non-avialan ornithans”).
It is one of biology’s dark secrets that there is no way to decide whether two different species are
related closely enough to belong to the same genus. The generic level, and all classification levels in
the Linnaean system above the species, are quite arbitrary. Classification of organisms was, and still
is, done according to the experience, judgment, and common sense of the classifiers, rather than
according to hard and fast rules. A classification is ratified when scientists everywhere use it in their
work. Some people are uncomfortable with the lack of objectivity in classification, so a movement
exists to abolish Linnaean ranks above the species level. But the convenience and utility of the
Linnaean system of ranks and groups, including genera and species, will likely keep it around for
quite a while longer.
Type specimens and type species:
In zoological nomenclature, every named species (except for very common and familiar ones, such
as Homo sapiens) has a type specimen: a physical specimen against which other specimens may be
http://www.polychora.com/dinolist.html
10/8/2014
Dinosaur Genera List
Page 5 of 40
compared to determine whether or not they belong to that species. Type specimens are usually kept
in museums or similar institutions where scientists can readily access them. Likewise, every genus
has a type species, the species against which other species may be compared to determine whether or
not they belong to that genus. (In dinosaurs, for example, the type species of the genus
Tyrannosaurus is Tyrannosaurus rex, and the type specimen of Tyrannosaurus rex is the mounted
skeleton on display at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh. If you want to know whether your
dinosaur fossil is a Tyrannosaurus rex, you go to the Carnegie Museum and compare it with that
skeleton, or you compare it against the original published description of the Carnegie skeleton.)
If, and only if, the type species of a genus is ever placed in another genus, then it carries the name of
its genus into synonymy with the other genus, and the older generic name (senior synonym: see
Synonymies in List below) becomes the new generic name of the species. In dinosaurs, for example,
the type species, Brontosaurus excelsus, of the sauropod genus Brontosaurus Marsh, 1879 was
referred to the earlier sauropod genus Apatosaurus Marsh, 1877 by Elmer S. Riggs in 1903. It was
then renamed Apatosaurus excelsus, and Brontosaurus was “sunk” as a junior synonym of
Apatosaurus. (The type species of Apatosaurus is Apatosaurus ajax, which remains distinct from
Apatosaurus excelsus.) Some dinosaur species have been renamed this way several times during the
course of dinosaur paleontology. The names of the type species of all the dinosaur genera, as well as
of all other dinosaur species and all their renamings, are tabulated by continent in my publication
Mesozoic Meanderings #3, which can be ordered by following the instructions at Dinogeorge’s
Home page. There are lots of species, renamings, and emendations, too many to be tabulated
conveniently at this website; but all of my most up-to-date files of dinosaur species names may be
downloaded for free from T. Mike Keesey’s Dinosauricon website.
The type specimen is usually designated when a species is initially described (in which case it is
called a holotype specimen); if not, then it may be designated subsequently, in further work on the
species (in which case it is called a lectotype specimen). Once designated, the type specimen may be
changed only by a formal petition to and subsequent ruling by the International Commission on
Zoological Nomenclature (which doesn’t happen very often!). A species without a type specimen is
called a nomen nudum and has no formal standing in zoology. Likewise, the type species of a genus
is usually designated when the genus is formally described, but it may be designated subsequently if
none was designated in the original description. (This occurred sometimes in the old days;
nowadays, no genus can be formally created without a named type species.) A generic name
informally published without a type species (this occasionally happens in news stories about
forthcoming descriptions, for example), or with a type species that is a nomen nudum, remains a
nomen nudum without scientific standing until it is formally described in a scientific paper and
acquires a valid type species.
For more on naming dinosaurs, see my article “Naming the Dinosaurs,” pp. 128–139 of The
Scientific American Book of Dinosaurs, edited by Gregory S. Paul (St. Martin’s Press, November
2000).
Notes for List:
[nomen dubium] = “doubtful name”: generic name the type specimen of whose type species is too
incomplete to be distinguished from like material belonging to at least two otherwise distinct
species; a nomen dubium genus may be a synonym of another genus, but its known material is not
considered complete enough to formalize such synonymy; being a nomen dubium does not
invalidate a name but does render equally doubtful any other taxonomic names based on that genus
http://www.polychora.com/dinolist.html

Dinosaur Genera List
Page 6 of 40
[nomen ex dissertatione –>] = “name from dissertation”: generic name created in a dissertation; a
particular kind of nomen nudum (see below) excluded from availability because dissertations are not
considered publications by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature; because
copies of many dissertations are available by purchase to anyone from University Microfilms
International, however, generic names created in them are in fact published in accordance with the
criteria of the Dinosaur Genera List, so they are listed here when known, and the publication year is
the year the document became available from UMI; a nomen ex dissertatione may change when the
author formally describes the genus, in which case the replacement name is indicated
[nomen manuscriptum] = “manuscript name”: formally unpublished name that appears in a
manuscript in preparation for publication that has been made publicly available, for example via the
Internet; such a name is here counted as a vernacular name, dated the year the manuscript was first
made available; if the name is later formally described, its nomen manuscriptum listing is converted
into a valid-name listing, with new author(s) and/or date if necessary; if the name is changed upon
formal publication, the old vernacular name is retained in the list, along with a pointer to its new
valid name
[nomen nudum –>] = “naked name”: generic name lacking a description and/or a type specimen for
its type species; indicated name, when given, is the scientific name subsequently applied to the
material; a nomen nudum is treated as a vernacular name and is not valid in scientific nomenclature
[nomen oblitum] = “forgotten name”: generic name unused in the scientific literature for at least 50
years after publication and hence at least potentially invalid
[nomen rejectum –>] = “rejected name”: generic name rejected by the International Commission on
Zoological Nomenclature in favor of the indicated name; depending on the terms of rejection, a
nomen rejectum may or may not be a scientifically valid name
vide = “see”: name attributed to the first indicated author(s) in the paper of the second; the author(s)
of the genus is(are) taken as the first author(s), while the date of publication of the name is taken as
the date associated with the second author(s)
/ = name preoccupied by the second indicated author(s); indicated name, if given, is replacement
name or senior synonym; a preoccupied name is not scientifically valid and must be replaced by a
new name when discovered
* = genus not presently considered to be dinosaurian [followed in brackets by its current
identification]
Synonymies in List:
[JOS –>] = junior objective synonym of the indicated genus, whose name is to be used in preference;
genera are objective synonyms if their type species are based on the same type specimen (this often
happens when a replacement name is proposed for a preoccupied name that turns out not to need
one); the genus whose name was published first is the senior synonym, the other genus is the junior
synonym; the senior synonym becomes the scientific name of the genus unless it has been formally
rejected or is otherwise unavailable
[JSS –>] = junior subjective synonym of the indicated genus; genera are subjective synonyms if the
type species of one genus has been referred to the other genus or synonymized with a species in the
other genus
http://www.polychora.com/dinolist.html
10/8/2014
Dinosaur Genera List
Page 7 of 40
[PSS –>] = possible subjective synonym of the indicated genus, either junior or senior; usually used
here with nomen dubium designation to indicate a better-established genus to which the doubtful
genus might be referred
[SSS –>] = suppressed senior synonym: a subjective senior synonym that has been rejected by the
International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature in favor of the indicated junior synonym
Note: Different workers have different judgments concerning subjective synonymies and nomina
dubia. This List provides the compiler’s present judgment, based on the current literature. Subjective
synonymies and nomina dubia designations in this List can and will change from time to time as
information from new studies is incorporated. This List is sparing in declaring a name a nomen
dubium; others may consider more names to be nomina dubia than this List does.
Generic names appearing in bold italics in this List that remain with no annotations (except perhaps
a vide or a PSS) are to be considered unequivocally valid dinosaur names. The synonymies were
added as of June 9, 2001, and they have been tuned until they are fully consistent with the
compiler’s current publications. On October 14, 2003, when the genera total was 1012 and the
visitor count stood at 16,944, the Generic Name Counts table was added to the front end of this
document. The generic names are sorted into seven different categories of validity and counted, and
the counts are totaled by initial letter and by category. Each name is placed into exactly one
category. Vernacular names are either nomina nuda or dissertation names. Genera not presently
considered to be dinosaurs (that is, those flagged with asterisks in their listings), are sorted into their
own category and are not further subdivided. The genera total for the entire Dinosaur Genera List
appears in the bottom right cell of the table.
