 is Mongolian for "lord".  _Khaan_ is on par with _Minmi_ as the shortest

Sigh. And I just emailed DGL corrections #166.

Last I looked, Malcolm McKenna was a male, so the species epithet should be
spelled mckennai, not mckennae. Worth checking to make sure. Would have been
even more fun if the species epithet of the first had been spelled osmolskai!
