Maniraptora is a clade of coelurosaurian dinosaurs which includes the birds and the non-avian dinosaurs that were more closely related to them than to Ornithomimus velox. It contains the major subgroups Avialae , Dromaeosauridae , Troodontidae , Oviraptorosauria , and Therizinosauria .

Coelurosauria is a subgroup of theropod dinosaurs that includes compsognathids, tyrannosaurs, ornithomimosaurs, and maniraptorans; Maniraptora includes birds, the only known dinosaur group alive today. [5] Most feathered dinosaurs discovered so far have been coelurosaurs.
Size comparison of several parvicursorines: Parvicursor remotus (green), Ceratonykus oculatus (red), Shuvuuia deserti (blue), and Mononykus olecranus (violet). Alvarezsaurids ranged from 50 centimetres (20 in) to 2 metres (6.6 ft) in length, although some possible members may have been larger, including the European Heptasteornis that may have reached 2.5 metres (8.2 ft) long.
Oviraptoridae is a group of bird-like, herbivorous and omnivorous maniraptoran dinosaurs.Oviraptorids are characterized by their toothless, parrot-like beaks and, in some cases, elaborate crests.
Coelurus (/ s ɪ ˈ lj ʊər ə s / si-LURE-əs) is a genus of coelurosaurian dinosaur from the Late Jurassic period (mid-late Kimmeridgian faunal stage, 155–152 million years ago).). The name means "hollow tail", referring to its hollow tail vertebrae (Greek κοῖλος, koilos = hollow + οὐρά, oura = t
Carpenter e.a. originally assigned Tanycolagreus to the Coeluridae. [2] Carpenter et al. (2005, p. 44) state that, of the other known Morrison theropods, this genus most closely resembles Coelurus, though it retains more "primitive" features.
Migmanychion is a maniraptoran theropod, but its precise placement within the clade is unclear. Wang et al. (2023) noted several similarities between Migmanychion and Fukuivenator, a premise supported by their phylogenetic analyses.
