Dinosaur or Not? 4

Deduce whether each name is that of a real dinosaur genus. Emphasis on real, emphasis on dinosaur, emphasis on genus. (most names are reused from my sudden death quizzes to test this format)
No "minor spelling mistakes" included
No "highly disputed names" included
Only non-avian dinosaurs (no birds)
Must be a valid genus as listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dinosaur_genera
