Dryptosauroides is the name given to a
genus of
dinosaur from the Late
Cretaceous. It was a large
theropod possibly belonging to the
abelisauridae. Its fossils, consisting of a few
vertebrae, were found in
India; however, these remains are not distinguishable from other similar fossils. As a result,
Dryptosauroides remains a
nomen dubium.
The type species, Dryptosauroides grandis, was described by Friedrich von Huene and Charles Alfred Matley in 1933.
