===Other species=== In 1930, Anatoly Nikolaevich Riabinin named ''Albertosaurus pericolosus'' based on a tooth from China that probably belonged to ''[[Tarbosaurus]]''.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Riabinin | first1 = A.N. | year = 1930 | title = [In Russian] "On the age and fauna of the dinosaur beds on the Amur River | journal = Memoirs of the Russian Mineralogical Society | volume = 59 | issue = 2| pages = 41β51 }}</ref> In 1932, [[Friedrich von Huene]] renamed ''Dryptosaurus incrassatus'', not considered a ''nomen dubium'' by him, to ''Albertosaurus incrassatus''.<ref>Von Huene, F.'', 1932 Die fossile Reptil-Ordnung Saurischia: ihre Entwicklung und Geschichte''. Monographie fΓΌr Geologie und Palaeontologie, Parts I and II, ser. I, 4: 1β361</ref> Because he had identified ''Gorgosaurus'' with ''Albertosaurus'', in 1970, Russell also renamed ''Gorgosaurus sternbergi'' (Matthew & Brown 1922) into ''Albertosaurus sternbergi'' and ''Gorgosaurus lancensis'' (Gilmore 1946) into ''Albertosaurus lancensis''.<ref name=russell1970/> The former species is today seen as a juvenile form of ''Gorgosaurus libratus'' and the latter is seen as either identical to ''[[Tyrannosaurus]]'' or representing a separate genus, ''[[Nanotyrannus]]''. In 1988, [[Gregory S. Paul]] based ''Albertosaurus megagracilis'' on a small tyrannosaurid skeleton, specimen LACM 28345, from the [[Hell Creek Formation]] of Montana.<ref name=paul1988>{{cite book |last=Paul |first=Gregory S. |author-link=Gregory S. Paul |year=1988 |title=Predatory Dinosaurs of the World |publisher=Simon & Schuster |location=New York |isbn=978-0-671-61946-6 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/predatorydinosau00paul }}</ref> It was renamed ''[[Dinotyrannus]]'' in 1995,<ref name=olshevsky1995>{{cite journal |last=Olshevsky |first=George. |author-link=George Olshevsky |year=1995 |title=(The origin and evolution of the tyrannosaurids.) |journal=Kyoryugaku Saizensen (Dino Frontline) |volume=9 |pages=92β119 |language=ja}}</ref> but is now thought to represent a juvenile ''Tyrannosaurus rex''.<ref name=currie2003a/> Also in 1988, Paul renamed ''[[Alectrosaurus]] olseni'' (Gilmore 1933) into ''Albertosaurus olseni'',<ref name=paul1988/> but this has found no general acceptance. In 1989, ''Gorgosaurus novojilovi'' (Maleev 1955) was renamed by Bryn Mader and Robert Bradley as ''Albertosaurus novojilovi''.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Mader | first1 = B. | last2 = Bradley | first2 = R. | year = 1989 | title = A redescription and revised diagnosis of the syntypes of the Mongolian tyrannosaur ''Alectrosaurus olseni'' | journal = Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology | volume = 9 | issue = 1| pages = 41β55 | doi=10.1080/02724634.1989.10011737| bibcode = 1989JVPal...9...41M }}</ref> On two occasions, species based on valid ''Albertosaurus'' material were reassigned to a different genus, ''[[Deinodon]]''. In 1922, [[William Diller Matthew]] renamed ''A. sarcophagus'' into ''Deinodon sarcophagus''.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Matthew | first1 = W.D. | last2 = Brown | first2 = B. | year = 1922 | title = The family Deinodontidae, with notice of a new genus from the Cretaceous of Alberta | journal = Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History | volume = 46 | issue = 6| pages = 367β385 }}</ref> In 1939, German paleontologist [[Oskar Kuhn]] renamed ''A. arctunguis'' into ''Deinodon arctunguis''.<ref>Kuhn, O.'', 1939 Saurischia β Fossilium catalogus I, Animalia, Pars 87''. 's-Gravenhage, W. Junk, 1939, 124 pp</ref>
