I find that somewhat surprising given that the analyses that find it as a non-coelophysoid were pretty inclusive to start with.Adam Yateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03046084686097124394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618628476414479312.post-22624515135161846022008-06-07T14:57:00.000-07:002008-06-07T14:57:00.000-07:00Oh, and congrats on the blog!

Now whether they coded characters correctly or used independent characters is another question. And 7 steps isn't much at all, so I consider the verdict still out in any case.<BR/><BR/>Dilophosauridae was first used by Charig and Milner (1990) to refer to Paul's (1988) informal dilophosaurs, which he actually used the subfamiliy Halticosaurinae for. Madsen and Welles (2000) mention a Dilophosauridae used in the same sense as Coelophysoidea. However, they then state Dilophosaurinae should be a subfamily of Podokesauridae containing only Dilophosaurus. Finally, they show an indented table with Dilophosauridae containing only Dilophosaurinae, with Dilophosaurus its sole genus. <BR/><BR/>References- Paul, 1988. Predatory Dinosaurs of the World.
