<i>Allosaurus europaeus</i> (Theropoda: Allosauroidea) Revisited and Taxonomy of the Genus by André Burigo, Octávio Mateus

“…A detailed cranial description and specimen-based phylogeny were performed and resolved many of the open questions: (1) The diversity of <i>Allosaurus</i> is limited to three named species: <i>A. fragilis</i>, <i>A. europaeus</i>, and <i>A. jimmadseni</i>. (2) Nine autapomorphies were found in <i>A. europaeus</i>, confirming the validity of the species. (3) Phylogenetic analyses place both Portuguese specimens in the genus <i>Allosaurus</i>, based on the following synapomorphies: jugal bone lateral view, relative heights of quadratojugal prongs, the dorsal prong is equal in height, the jugal bone in lateral view shows shallow accessory pneumatization of the antorbital fossa, the palatine pneumatic recess shape is small, and lacrimal horn morphology has a triangular horn. (4) The Andrés specimen is placed with the <i>A. europaeus</i> and they are considered here to be the same species, which is paleo-geographically and biochronologically congruent. (5) <i>A. europaeus</i> and <i>A. jimmadseni</i> are sister taxa and closer to each other than to <i>A. fragilis</i>. …”
