A short question concerning  _Chilantaisaurus_...

According to Molnar et al. in  _The Dinosauria_ (1990), Hu (1964) referred 
_Chilantaisaurus tashuikoensis_ and _C. maortuensis_ to the same 
genus because the tail vertebrae of the two species were very 
similar.  (No other material was common to the two species.)  
Yet, caudal vertebrae are not mentioned as part of the holotype of 
_C. tashuikoensis_ (the type species for _Chilantaisaurus_).  

OK, maybe it's not such a short question.  Can anyone help me out?
