The Mexican cousin of Deinocheirus!

Is this the same animal as the old nomen nudum Saltillomimus?

It's from the same formation, but I'm unsure if they're the same animal. I believe Paraxenisaurus is known from less material, but I don't know what specimen number "Saltillomimus" is, so I can't know for sure at the moment.

I think the paper mentions a more derived ornithomimosaur from the same formation, which is likely "Saltillomimus". It's been a decade since it was informally named, and from the looks of things they have enough material to create a nice skeletal mount of it, so it would be nice to see some action on that front soon.

Mexican dinosaurs as a whole are criminally overlooked.

True that. The headless kritosaurin is something that I've been looking forward to getting a resolution on for a while now; if only there was some way to use the rest of the skeleton to find diagnostic features

Toy dinosaur brands would have to take into account all dinosaurs and prehistoric animals in each nation that are acceptably preserved and equally interesting. I agree that in Mexico there are many prehistoric animals and not only interesting dinosaurs that could be reproduced en masse by a brand of toy dinosaurs or in any case of collecting (resin dinosaurs).
