= Huaxiaosaurus aigahtens ZHAO, WANG & LI, 2011
Etymology: aigahtens is unusual in that it isn't a real word. Apparently, it's supposed to mean gigantic or enormous, with the Chinese "jù dà" and the Latin "giganteus" meaning exactly the same thing and if you take aigahtens and replace the first "a" with "g", the "h" with "n" and the last "n" with "u" you get... giganteus (from http://www.dinochecker.com/dinosaurs/HUAXIAOSAURUS ).
