Chuandongocoelurus (CHWAHN-DUNG-o-see-LOOR-us - Chuandong and Greek Coelurus - koilos meaning "hollow" and oura meaning "tail") named after the Chuandong in Sichuan Province, China, where the fragmentary remains of a possible coelurosaur were found by He in 1984. The formation in which it was discovered was the Lower Shaximiao Formation, part of the Dashanpu Formation. It is considered a nomen dubium.
