Unenlagiinae

Bonaparte 1999

Les Unenlagiinae forment une sous-famille fossile de dinosaures à plumes, des théropodes coelurosauriens. Ils sont connus par des spécimens découverts en Amérique du Sud, Antarctique et Madagascar, qui ont vécu pendant le Crétacé supérieur, il y a de 89 à 66 millions d'années.
