Saurornitholestinae is a subfamily of dromaeosaurid dinosaurs. The saurornitholestines currently include three species: Atrociraptor marshalli, Bambiraptor feinbergorum, and Saurornitholestes langstoni. All are medium sized dromaeosaurs from the Late Cretaceous of western North America. The group was originally recognized by Longrich and Currie [1] as the sister taxon to a clade formed by the Dromaeosaurinae and Velociraptorinae. However, not all phylogenetic analyses recover this group.[2]
