In 2026, Hao and Xu assigned IVPP V34154 to ''Huanasaurus'' and suggested that ''Corythoraptor'' is a junior synonym of the former. The specimen was donated to the [[Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology]] and preserved an individual situated on top of a nest.{{Cite journal |last1=Hao |first1=M. |last2=Xu |first2=X. |year=2026 |title=A new oviraptorid theropod fossil from the Upper Cretaceous of Southern China with implications for oviraptorosaurian systematics and palaeobiogeography |journal=Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society |volume=206 |issue=4 |article-number=zlag049 |doi=10.1093/zoolinnean/zlag049 }} |
