@DCDuring What is the taxonomic status of "Ornitholestidae"? DTLHS (talk) 22:51, 12 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

I am not competent to do a literature search. But, according to Fossilworks/Paleology Database †Ornitholestes (sole species †Ornitholestes hermanni, discovered in 1903) is placed in †Compsognathidae, which does not show Ornitholestidae as a synonym. So it seems to have been superseded. DCDuring (talk) 23:03, 12 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
