Names first published here

• Riojavenatrix genus
• Riojavenatrix lacustris species

Cited by genera

• Iberospinus

  New basal European spinosaurid study recovered Iberospinus as a baryonychine.

• Riojavenatrix

  Describing paper; erected Riojavenatrix as a baryonychine, though its analysis also recovered an early spinosaurine position.

• Vallibonavenatrix

  Recovered Vallibonavenatrix in unstable positions, including an early spinosaurine and, as a wildcard result, a megalosaurid.

Cited by clades

• Baryonychinae

  Described Riojavenatrix; recovered Baryonychinae as Baryonyx plus Suchomimus once unstable taxa were pruned, and placed Riojavenatrix in it only under a constraint costing three steps.
