Cell background colors

The background colors of the cells are a means to communicate the relevant organism's taxonomic status.

Cionodon kysylkumensis

For clarity's sake, Cionodon kysylkumensis was originally assigned (tentatively) to Cionodon by Riabinin (1931), but was later referred to Gilmoreosaurus by Nessov (1989), and then to Bactrosaurus by Nessov (1995). However, the referral of Cionodon kysylkumensis to Gilmoreosaurus by Nessov (1989) was based on the referral of skull remains that were later described by Nessov (1995) as Gilmoreosaurus arkhangelskyi (also found in Bissekty Formation; Nessov 1995), and the referral of C. kysylkumensis to Bactrosaurus has not been accepted by the paleontological community either. Most, recently C. kysylkumensis has been treated as a junior synonym of Levnesovia transoxiana by Sues and Avieranov (2009), but without comment. As a matter of fact, Nessov (1995) designated one of the vertebrae as the lectotype for Cionodon kysylkumensis and re-identified the putative paralectotype dentary as a maxilla.

Moving on, Richardoestesia asiatica is a new combination by Mickey Mortimer (http://home.comcast.net/~eoraptor/Dromaeosaurs.htm#Richardoestesiaasiatica) for Asiamericana asiatica (originally described as either a spinosaur or a saurodontid fish by Nessov 1995). (Buffetaut et. al. 2008 believes that Asiamericana is indeed a saurodontid fish.) In an SVP abstract, Sankey (2002) considered Richardoestesia and Euronychodon to be synonymous with Paronychodon, but the time gap between Euronychodon asiaticus and the holotypes of Paronychodon lacustris, Richardoestesia gilmorei, and Euronychodon portucalensis makes it unlikely that Euronychodon asiaticus could be congeneric (or even conspecific) with one of the latter taxa.
