The group "Allosauroidea" is mentioned in the text, apparently as a supgroup of Theropoda and a supergroup of Allosauridae. Ought this not to appear in the taxobox? SpectrumDT 21:19, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Good question. There are almost as many group names as there are species. If we put all of them in the taxobox, you would give up before you got to the end. For Acrocanthosaurus, it would be: Sauropsida(Reptilia)-Diapsida-Archosauria-Avesuchia-Avemetatarsalia-Ornithodira-Dinosauromorpha-Dinosauria-Saurischia-Theropoda-Neotheropoda-Tetanurae-Avetheropoda-Carnosauria-Allosauroidea-Carcharodontosauridae-Acrocanthosaurus-atokensis... and that is just using the most commonly referenced names, and only starting from the beginning of reptiles.
