Abstract. The Commission has preserved stability in the taxonomy of stegosaurian dinosaurs by replacing Stegosaurus armatus Marsh, 1877, the unidentifiable type species of the ornithischian dinosaur genus Stegosaurus Marsh, 1877, with the very well represented nominal species Stegosaurus stenops Marsh, 1887, also from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation, U.S.A.

The Postcranial Skeleton of an Exceptionally Complete Individual of the Plated Dinosaur Stegosaurus stenops (Dinosauria: Thyreophora) from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of Wyoming, U.S.A.

Several aspects of its morphology indicate the individual was not fully skeletally mature at the time of death, corroborating a previous histological study and enabling additional comparisons with other stegosaurian dinosaurs.

A new phylogeny of Stegosauria (Dinosauria, Ornithischia)

The phylogeny presented here will form the basis for future work on the palaeobiology of the plated dinosaurs and will affect topologies in unpredictable ways, particularly in areas of the tree where there are large amounts of missing data.

The phylogenetic nomenclature of ornithischian dinosaurs

The nomenclature of ornithischian dinosaur clades is revised; 76 preexisting ornithischerian clade names are revisited, their recent and historical use is reviewed, and their phylogenetic definitions are formally established.
