This new dinosaur is another stegosaur in the Cretaceous period just like Dravidosaurus (is it a stegosaur or a plesiosaur. I am not sure), and Wuerhosaurus. (The name of the new genus is Yanbeilong btw)

If you didn't know, Dravidosaurus was said to be the last Stegosaurian ever, but its fossils were claimed to be Plesiosaur remains.
However...
Sankar Chatterjee, the man who said Dravidosaurus was actually a plesiosaur and nomen dubium, visited the site and claimed that Dravidosaurus was based on Plesiosaurian Pelvic and hindlimb remains, be he showed no actual evidence. In 2004, Peter Galton and Upchurch rejected the statement, because skull, tooth, and plate fossils look nothing like Plesiosaur remains. The claims of a Plesiosaurus pelvic and hindlimb material were also disproven in 2017. Peter Galton and Krishnan Ayyasami also announced more stegosaurian remains which were found near where Dravidosaurus was found, are under study.
So yea, Indian Stegosaur!
