 Albertosaurus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albertosaurus (IPA: [æl,bɜr.toʊ'soʊr.əs]; meaning "Alberta lizard") is a genus of tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived in western North America during the Late Cretaceous Period, more than 70 million years ago.
Albertosaurus was named in 1905 by Henry Fairfield Osborn of the American Museum of Natural History in a very brief note at the end of his description of Tyrannosaurus rex.
In 2003, Phil Currie and colleagues examined skulls of the two species and came to the conclusion that the two distinct genera should be retained, although they acknowledged that the two genera are sister taxa and that the distinction is therefore rather arbitrary.

Question: I recently read that Albertosaurus sternbergi is designated as a species because it is much lighter and noticeably different (gracile form) from Albertosaurus libratus.
Answer: Albertosaurus sternbergi (originally Gorgosaurus sternbergi) is based on the most completely known of the Albertosaurus remains (AMNH 5664).
Mathew and Brown (1923) distinguished this species as being smaller and more slender than libratus, with less massive jaws, a more slender muzzle, more shallow and elongate maxlla, and more circular orbits.
