Avebrevicauda (meaning "birds with short tails") is a group of theropod dinosaurs which includes all avialan species with ten or fewer free vertebrae in the tail. The group was named in 2002 by Gregory S. Paul to distinguish short-tailed avialans from their ancestors, such as Archaeopteryx, which had long, reptilian tails.[1]
The cladogram below follows the results of a phylogenetic study by Wang et al., 2016.[2]
