Genus: Gongbusaurus DONG, ZHOU & ZHANG, 1983
Etymology: Chinese, gong “worker”, Chinese bu, “board, ministry” and Greek, sauros, "lizard"; Board of works lizard.
= Eugongbusaurus KNOLL, 1999 (nomen nudum)
Note: This name was used in an abstract in 1999 attributed to Knoll. This abstract was published without his consent and the name is considered invalid (KNOLL pers. comm.)

Species: shiyii DONG, ZHOU & ZHANG, 1983
Etymology: Gongbu - Pinyin romanization for "The Ministry of Works in feudal China." The famous Tang Dynasty poet Dufu was an adjunct member in this ministry, and it was thereby commonly referred to as the “Du Ministry of works.” "Shiyi" is Pinyin romanization for an official post during the Tang Dynasty with the responsibility to counsel the emperor upon potential error, a post that was also held by the poet Minister Dufu. As these specimens were found among a mixed assemblage of material in Sichuan, or were seemingly lost and then recovered to rectify the error, the acknowledgement of Dufu through this double entendre commemorates the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, by the erection of Gongbusaurus shiyii gen. et sp. nov.
