Haplocheirus

Choiniere et al. 2010
Etymology ''Haplocheirus'' est le terme latinisé du Grec ''haplocheir'' signifiant ''main simple'' une allusion au fait que cet animal ne présente pas la main spécialisée des Alvarezsauroidea plus tardifs.

Haplocheirus is an extinct genus of theropod dinosaur from the Middle Jurassic Shishugou Formation of Xinjiang in China. It is generally considered to be an alvarezsauroid, although some researchers have questioned this assignment. The genus contains a single species, H. sollers, which is known from a mostly complete skeleton including the skull.
