Abstract: In 1987, a team from the Kunming Muniipal Museum found and excavated a nearly complete specimen of a new species of theropod, Dilophosaurus sinensis, from Xiyang Village, Jinning County, Yunnan Province. The sp cimen was associated with a skeleton of Yunnanosaurus in the Lower Jurassic sediments of the Lower Lufeng Formation. The discovery of Dilophosaurus in China suggests there were close connections between North America and Asia during the Early Jurassic.

摘要: 1987年8月,在晋宁县夕阳彝族乡木杵榔村的青龙山采到两具恐龙,一为近于完整的兽脚类的双嵴龙,另一具为原蜥脚类的云南龙(Yunnanosaurus)。它们出自早侏罗世下禄丰组。鉴于晋宁木杵榔发现的双嵴龙在中国乃至亚洲尚属首次记录,特此简报。
