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.
