Yeah, *Hadrosaurus foulkii* was described in 1858, IIRC. Still, I've seen 
this date (1839) for *Laelaps* in various sources, but it wasn't description 
(Cope was born in 1840) but just a  mention.
I've also made some further research on countries, and these are numbers from 
1999 (so there should be about 60 more genera distributed within some countries 
to get current results):
1.) USA 113
2.) China 63 (?) +33 invalid
3.) Mongolia 55
4.) Canada 41
5.) UK 41
6.) Argentina 40
7.) France 20
8.) India 10
9.) Germany 10
10.) Portugal 10
11.) Australia 10
12.) RSA 10
13.) Spain 9
14.) Niger 8
15.) Uzbekistan 8
16.) Tanzania 8
17.) Morroco 6
