Patagonykinae (disused)
Taxonomy
Patagonykinae was named by Agnolin et al. (2012) [Largest known alvarezsaurids, diagnosable on the basis of the following unambiguous synapomorphies, not recorded in any other dinosaur: (1) presence of a longitudinal ridge on the lateral surface of coracoid (422-1), and (2) strongly sculptured ventral half of coracoid (423-1). In addition, both Bonapartenykus and Patagonykus share a medially deflected coracoid, a condition unknown in other alvarezsaurs, but currently widespread among Paraves (Makovicky et al., 2005; ch. 261-1).].
It was assigned to Alvarezsauridae by Agnolin et al. (2012) and Novas et al. (2013); and to Alvarezsauroidea by Averianov and Lopatin (2021).
