Bicharracosaurus

bug lizard (approximate)

• bicharraco · Spanish · slang for a bug, creepy-crawly or odd creature
• sauros · Greek · lizard

The name combines the Spanish colloquial word "bicharraco", meaning a bug or odd creature, with the Greek "sauros", meaning lizard. I'm not certain of the exact reason the name was chosen.

I recall Bicharracosaurus as a sauropod from the Jurassic of Argentina, but I'm not confident of its authorship, date or formal status. It may be an informal or poorly documented name. Please check a specialist source before relying on these details.
