Phylogenetic affinities of Saltriovenator and evolution of the hand in Theropoda. Reduced strict consensus of the shortest trees found by the phylogenetic analysis after pruning of Lewisuchus and Teleocrater. Numbers at nodes indicate decay index. Inferred manual phalangeal formula for selected nodes indicated below clade names. Hands of representative members of the avian stem (bold names) in extensor view (Herrerasaurus in flexor view), medial side at left, missing elements in white based on ancestral states inferred at least inclusive node containing the taxon. Red star indicates loss of metacarpal V, blue stars indicate multiple independent losses of metacarpal IV among tetanurans. Drawings by A. Cau.

Fossil specimen RTMP 82.19.23 - A lacrimal, postorbitals, squamosals, frontals, parietals, and braincase referred to Latenivenatrix mcmasterae, but formerly assigned to Stenonychosaurus inequalis (=Troodon inequalis).

Sarcosaurus diagram of known material: reconstruction based on basal Ceratosaurs (such as Berberosaurus and Saltriovenator). The Skull was made to look more generic and less like more derived Ceratosaurs such as Ceratosaurus. "Liassaurus", referred to "cf. Sarcosaurus woodi" and is smaller than the holotype: material in light grey is preserved, but to what extent is uncertain as it is not figured. References: Carrano and Sampson (2004).
