Comments | This subfamily was formally recognized by Barsbold (1976b), who argued for a subdivision of the family Oviraptoridae into two subfamilies (Oviraptorinae, Ingeniinae). His other paper in that year (Barsbold 1976a) cited Barsbold (1976b) as the original source for the family-group taxa, Oviraptoridae and Oviraptorinae (also the nominal author for Oviraptoroidea). Several publications do not differentiate between these family-group taxa named by Barsbold (1976b) and Oviraptorosauria named by (Barsbold 1976a), listing only the latter as author for both (e.g. Clark et al. 1999, 2001; Lü 2002). Osmólska et al. (2004:tab. 8.1) doubtless were aware of the difference in the original auhorship of these taxa, but inverted their citation (incorrect citations of nominal when there is more than one publication in the same year are fairly commonplace in Weishampel et al. 2004). Osmólska et al. (2004) were the first to define this taxon, which in their analysis includes Citipati, Rinchenia, and an unnamed form. The active definition is a textual variant of the node-based definition in Osmólska et al. (2004). They remarked that the taxon divides Oviraptoridae into its two subdivisions (along with Ingeniinae). It may have been better, if the intention was to maintain that subdivision, to have erected stem-based defintions for each of the subfamilies based on their most derived species. However, this revision will not be implemented here in order to maintain use of the original definitions. |
