Dilong (dinosaur) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Dilong paradoxus
''Dilong'' (which means 'emperor dragon') is a genus of small proceratosaurid tyrannosauroid dinosaur. The only species is ''Dilong paradoxus''. It is from the Lower Cretaceous Yixian Formation near Lujiatun, Beipiao, in the western Liaoning province of China. It lived about 125 million years ago. ==Discovery== It was described by Xu Xing and colleagues in 2004. The name is derived from the Chinese 帝 ''dì'' meaning 'emperor' and 龙 / 龍 ''lóng'' meaning 'dragon'. "Di", "emperor", refers to the relationship of this animal to ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', the "king" tyrannosaurid. "Long" is used to name Chinese dinosaurs in much the same way that the Latin ''-saur(us)'' is in the West. The specific name, ''paradoxus'', is a Latinisation of the Ancient Greek παράδοξον meaning 'against received wisdom'.
