Edward Drinker Cope named this genus and species in 1874 but never properly described it. This name is therefore considered to be a nomen dubium (doubtful name). Hatcher, Marsh, & Lull re-published this material in 1907 as Hadrosaurus occidentalis(a duckbill dinosaur), and it is now catalogued under that name. It probably represents an indeterminate hadrosaur. The name Agathaumas (whose original type species was A. sylvestris) was first applied to a ceratopsian (horned dinosaur), and the genus now considered to be a junior synonym of Triceratops.
