Clarifying Hierosaurus sternbergi

["Tommy Bradley" <htomsirveaux@hotmail.com>]

Okay,
if I have this straight...

*Hierosaurus coleii* (Mehl, 1936) = *Niobrarasaurus coleii*

While...
*Hierosaurus sternbergi* (Wieland, 1909) is a nomen dubium.  Is it included 
with
*Nodosaurus textilis*?  Or is that an old, outmoded idea?

One more question:  Several sources said that the reason for the generic 
name
(*Hierosaurus* = "Sacred lizard") is unknown.  Anybody have a clue?

Pre-emptive thanks,
Tommy Bradley
