RE: Arcovenator, new abelisaurid theropod from Late Cretaceous of southern France

[Jaime Headden <qi_leong@hotmail.com>]

I was referring to the Tortosa paper. I was reading the *Austrocheirus isaasi* 
paper at the same time.

As for phylogenetic definitions being attached to names with implied ranks, and 
the issues that come from that, that's why I deplore rank-based names, and 
ranks.

Cheers,
