Dinosaur Genera List corrections #164

[Dinogeorge@aol.com]

I have a bit to add to the previous Dinosaur Genera List corrections (#163). 
First, I forgot to note that Nothronychus became genus #907 in the list. And 
second, Ralph Molnar replied to my post that a more complete account of the 
dinosaur, by reporter(?) John Stanley, appeared in the Arizona Republic on or 
about June 19, 2001, and there the full name Nothronychus mckinleyi was 
published. The article also attributed the name to Wolfe & Kirkland, but 
nevertheless Ralph suggests that they are not necessarily the ones who came 
up with the name or will publish the formal description.

In any case, we can add the following entry to the North American dinosaurs 
list in Mesozoic Meanderings #3 second printing:

Nothronychus Wolfe & Kirkland vide Stanley, 2001 [nomen nudum]
    N. mckinleyi Wolfe & Kirkland vide Stanley, 2001 [nomen nudum](Type)
NOTE: The names of this genus and species of therizinosauroid appeared in 
Arizona Republic on or about June 19, 2001 (R. E. Molnar, pers. comm.).

And we change the Dinosaur Genera List entry to the simpler:

Nothronychus Wolfe & Kirkland vide Stanley, 2001 [nomen nudum]

I prefer a bylined article to an anonymous article, if both appear in print 
at about the same time.

And now we add dinosaur name #908:

Jinzhousaurus Wang & Xu, 2001

Ben Creisler provided the reference:

Wang Xiaolin & Xu Xing, 2001. "A new genus and species of iguanodont from the 
Yixian Formation in Liaoxi: Yang's Jinzhou dragon [Jinzhousaurus yangi]," 
Kexue Tongbao 46(5): 419-423 [March 2001].

This also adds the following genus and species to the Asiatic dinosaurs 
listing in MM #3 second printing:

Jinzhousaurus Wang & Xu, 2001
    J. yangi Wang & Xu, 2001(Type)

The journal title, Kexue Tongbao, brings back memories of rifling through the 
periodicals shelves of the Great Wall Book Store in Toronto, Ontario looking 
for dinosaur publications in the mid-to-late 1970s. That's when I happened 
across the issue of Kexue Tongbao with the original description of 
Yangchuanosaurus, a new dinosaur described in a periodical I had never heard 
of before. I bought all the copies the store had, for something like 25 cents 
or 50 cents each, and traded them with several western paleontologists for 
offprints and info. Chinese products of all kinds, including scientific 
journals, had been embargoed from the United States for years and were 
virtually unavailable to Americans, but one could find them on sale at 
Canadian "Chinatown" newsstands like Great Wall, along with an endless stream 
of political propaganda and pretty Chinese pictorial magazines. Great Wall 
regularly carried Vertebrata PalAsiatica, which is why I visited the store 
with some frequency: I never knew when another shipment of science magazines 
and journals would arrive from China. Those were the days when I was 
fanatically assiduous in hunting down dinosaur publications; now Tracy Ford 
does most of that kind of legwork for both of us. Having a newsstand selling 
Chinese publications is one of the things I still miss after moving away from 
Toronto.
