It was recombined as Ornithomimus ingens by Russell and Chamney (1967), Steel (1970) and Eberth (1997); it was synonymized subjectively with Dromiceiomimus brevetertius by Osmólska et al. (1972); it was synonymized subjectively with Dromiceiomimus brevitertius by Russell (1972) and Coulton (1976); it was synonymized subjectively with Ornithomimus edmontonicus by Makovicky et al.

Struthiomimus currellii was named by Parks (1933). Its type specimen is ROM 851, a skeleton, and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is 1 mile below Munson Ferry (100 ft level) [ROM], which is in a Maastrichtian terrestrial horizon in the Horseshoe Canyon Formation of Canada.

It was recombined as Ornithomimus currellii by Russell and Chamney (1967); it was misspelled as Ornithomimus currelli by Eberth (1997); it was synonymized subjectively with Ornithomimus edmontonicus by Steel (1970), Osmólska et al. (1972), Russell (1972), Coulton (1976), Nicholls and Russell (1981), Paul (1988), Makovicky et al. (2004) and Currie (2005).
