Note: The authors make a new combination, Prodeinodon dunkeri = Megalosaurus dunkeri. They argue that Altispinax is used for the three dorsal vertebrae. They are unaware that these vertebrae were assigned a new name by Olshevsky in 1991, Becklespinax altispinax. The authors are incorrect but their classification needs to be modified since Altispinax has priority over Prodeinodon. The new combinations are; Altispinax dunkeri, = Megalosaurus dunkeri, = Prodeinodon dunkeri; Altispinax mongoliensis, = Prodeinodon mongoliensis; Altispinax kwangshiensis, = Prodeinodon kwangshiensis (nomen dubium); Altispinax tibetensis, = Prodeinodon tibetensis (nomen dubium).
