Howdy all,

 

I've read a lot of articles saying that Acheroraptor belongs in Velociraptorinae, but also some that says it instead belongs in Saurornitholestinae.

 

Which is correct?

Evans et al. (2013) following Turner et al (2012) placed Acheroraptor in the Velociraptorinae which are an otherwise strictly Asian taxon. 

Powers et al. (2022) suggested Acheroraptor was basal to the Saurornitholestinae.

Depends who you believe.

Life's Good!

Thanks for the help, friend.
