Title
In a recent publication ("The Late Triassic (Norian) Adamanian–Revueltian tetrapod faunal transition in the Chinle Formation of Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona") Martz and Parker themselves referred to the taxon as "Rioarribasuchus". If they are willing to concede that Lucas and Co.'s name technically has priority then I think the article's name should be changed to reflect that.

And for the record I think that sucks, but that's how the game works sometimes.68.14.137.240 (talk) 19:27, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Title change
The article title should be changed to Rioarribasuchus as Heliocanthus is a junior objective synonym of Rioarribasuchus and Bill Parker has now acknowledged that he erected a new genus for Desmatosuchus chamaensis without knowing that Lucas et. al. (2006) were coining their own genus for chamaensis. Paradoxically, Lucas et. al. took note of the conclusion in Parker's 2003 thesis that D. chamaensis was generically distinct from D. spurensis and D. smalli but coined the name Rioarribasuchus anyway because Parker's thesis was unpublished. 68.4.28.33 (talk) 19:41, 25 June 2013 (UTC)Vahe Demirjian
