 _Agnosphitys_ is first in the paper, I recommend this is the one we use 
 (unless the authors intended otherwise). Etymology seems a bit vague:

Actually, a first revisor gets to choose the correct spelling when two 
different spellings appear in an original work. I presume the authors have 
been apprised of this little problem; they can select the correct name in a 
subsequent short note.
