Monoclonius

Despite its nose horn, its name meaning of "single stem" was in reference to its teeth before it was even known to be a ceratopsid. Of the fifteen or so species of Monoclonius that have been named over time, all but one have either been reclassified as belonging to Centrosaurus or Styracosaurus, been synonymized with other species, or been declared dubious or invalid. Many scientists consider Monoclonius itself to be the same as Centrosaurus.
