Saurornitholestinae is a subfamily of the theropod group Dromaeosauridae. The saurornitholestines currently include monotypic genera Atrociraptor marshalli, Saurornitholestes langstoni, and possibly Bambiraptor feinbergi and Acheroraptor temertyorum. All are medium-sized dromaeosaurs from the Late Cretaceous of western North America. The group was originally recognized by Longrich and Currie as the sister taxon to a clade formed by the Dromaeosaurinae and Velociraptorinae.[3] However, not all phylogenetic analyses recover this group and/or with the same proposed genera.[4][5][6]
