While looking through old dinosaur books on the Internet Archive, I found
an interesting informal name used in *The New Illustrated Dinosaur
Dictionary *from 1990. The name is "Kumming-Long" [sic], which is supposed
to translate to "Kunming dragon". Based on the description of it as a
Chinese crested theropod similar to *Dilophosaurus*, I think it is
referring to "*Dilophosaurus*" *sinensis *as later described by Hu (1993).
I've also seen old posts on the DML that state the name "Kunmingsaurus" was
used informally for "*D.*"* sinensis*. I'm curious if anyone has more
information about this.
