Fukuiraptor kitadaniensis
Discussion
Recorded measurements are of juvenile specimens only, so the body mass estimate bears no relationship to adult size.
Taxonomy
Fukuiraptor kitadaniensis was named by Azuma and Currie (2000). Its type specimen is FPMN 97122, a partial skeleton, and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Kitadani Dinosaur Quarry (lower, BB I), which is in an Aptian fluvial sandstone/shale in the Kitadani Formation of Japan. It was considered monophyletic by Azuma and Currie (2000).

Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| Y. Azuma and P. J. Currie 2000 | Medium-sized theropod (holotype has an estimated length of 4.2 m, Fig. 2). Carnosaur with the following autapomorphies: fused interdental plates in maxilla and dentary (convergent with dromaeosaurids); narrow dentary; narrow bladelike teeth with oblique blood grooves (convergent with tyrannosaurids); ratio of ulna to humerus is 0.92, which is significantly higher than any other carnosaur, except Xuanhanosaurus; relatively larger hands with better developed unguals than Allosaurus; pubic peduncle is lateromedially wider than anteroposteriorly long; relatively taller ascending process than other known carnosaurs. | |
| M. T. Carrano et al. 2012 | Avetheropod with: (1) proportionally long forearm (ulna : humerus ratio = 0.92); and (2) pubic peduncle of ilium approximately as broad anteroposteriorly as mediolaterally (all from Azuma & Currie 2000). |
