Alioramus sinensis

†Alioramus sinensis was a tyrannosaurid theropod from the Late Cretaceous of China. A lightly built bipedal carnivore related to the Mongolian †Alioramus remotus, it contributes to the poorly known Asian tyrannosaurid diversity. The gracile proportions of Alioramus species have prompted debate on whether they represent a distinct lineage or juveniles of larger tyrannosaurids.
