Coeluroides
Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
Coeluroides ("hollow form") is an extinct genus of theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period in what is now India.[1] It is based solely on the holotype caudal vertebrae GSI K27/562, K27/574 and K27/595, discovered in a layer of the Lameta Formation. The type species, C. largus, was described by Friedrich von Huene and Charles Alfred Matley in 1933.[2]
When fully grown, Coeluroides is estimated to be Script error: No such module "convert". long and perhaps Script error: No such module "convert". in weight, similar to but larger than Jubbulpuria. Coeluroides was long considered a nomen dubium because of sparse remains, but a 2004 overview of Indian theropods from the Lameta Formation found it to be probably valid.[3] An SVP 2012 abstract considers it as a possible senior synonym of Ornithomimoides.[4]
