It was not until 1970 that the specimen was fully described by Dale Russell, who made it the type of a new genus, Daspletosaurus, from the Greek δασπλής (dasples, stem and connective vowel resulting in daspleto~) ("frightful") and σαυρος/sauros ("lizard").
As Chabli had left the field of paleontology, the type species Lurdusaurus arenatus was formally named by Taquet and Dale Russell in 1999.
