Taxonomic list

• Rauhut notes "with the discovery of additional theropods from the Cañadón Asfalto Formation, the identification as Condorraptor is no longer tenable" - correct, but I have removed the formal ID assigned to Rougier et al. 2007 as this paper does not contain any reference to this specimen or to theropod diversity specifically. [From Carrano: Okay, but please indicate your identity; I assume it's Richard Butler, but someone else won't know that.]
