Proper noun

Tyrannoraptora

1. A taxonomic clade within the clade Coelurosauria.. It was originally created by Paul Sereno in the 1990s as a clade that housed Tyrannosauroids and Maniraptorans. Due to the status of Tyrannosauroids as being far more basal to Coelurosauria than once imagined, Tyrannoraptora came to include most Coelurosaurs.
