Koreanosaurus (theropod)

"Koreanosaurus" (meaning "Korean lizard") is the informal name given to an as-yet undescribed genus of dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous. It was a possible dromaeosaur (or similar theropod) which lived in what is now Korea, although at times it has been referred to the Tyrannosauridae and Hypsilophodontidae. Based solely on a femur, the type species was coined by Kim in 1979, who by 1993 had decided that it was a species of Deinonychus, "D." koreanensis. It is probably the same as "Koreasaurus", another informal name for a possible Korean dromaeosaurid.

In 2010 another, now validly named, dinosaur was given the name Koreanosaurus.
