Allosaurus (Marsh, 1877) = Creosaurus atrox (Marsh,1878) Epanterias amplexus (Cope,1878) Labrosaurus (Marsh,1879) Saurophagus (Ray,1941Allosaurus > A. fragilis (Marsh,1877) >> Laelaps trihedrodon (Cope,1877) Creosaurus atrox (Marsh,1878) Epanteris amplexus (Cope,1878) Hypsirophus discurus [partim] (Cope,1878) Allosaurus lucaris (Marsh,1878) Allosaurus ferox (Marsh,1896) ?Saurophagus maximus (Ray,1941) ?Labrosaurus ferox (Marsh,1884) Camptosaurus amplus (Marsh,1879) = Camptonotus amplus (Marsh,1879) A. whitei (Pickering, 1995) Allosaurus > A.tendagurensis (Janensch,1925)

AMNH 666 TYPE + AMNH 5753 TOPOTYPE. Referred specimens:AMNH 275, 290, 324, 496, 600, 680, 704, 726, 728, 736-737, 851, 5752, 6125, 6128; MCZ 3897; UUVP 6000.

Allosaurus "whitei" (Pickering, 1996) was based on a skull with hyoid,
presacral column, sacrum and pelvis (AMNH 666). It was diagnosed by the
same characters Paul used to distinguish A. "atrox", so is invalid for the
same reasons. Chure rejects the validity of the name, as Pickering didn't
follow ICZN Article 7 Recommendation 7a, Article 8a or Recommendation 8A. It is therefore considered a nomen nudum in addition to being a junior synonym of A. fragilis.
