"Antrodemus valens" is a scientific name assigned by American paleontologist Joseph Leidy in 1870 [Leidy J (1870). Remarks on "Poicilopleuron valens", "Clidastes intermedius", "Leiodon proriger", "Baptemys wyomingensis", and "Emys stevensonianus". Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia 1870: 3-5] to a very fragmentary allosaurid fossil from the Morrison Formation. Although the specimen quite possibly belonged to "Allosaurus" (and, indeed, some older dinosaur books listed "Allosaurus" as "Antrodemus", because the latter name was specified first), it is impossible to determine this with any degree of accuracy due to the scanty remains of the holotype. Today, "Antrodemus" is considered a dubious name of little scientific value.
