Bahariasauridae is a potential family of averostran theropods that might include a handful of African and South American genera, such as Aoniraptor, Bahariasaurus, Deltadromeus, and Gualicho.[1][2] The placement of these theropods is controversial, with some studies placing them as basal ceratosaurs possibly related to Noasauridae (which they may also include the otherwise noasaurid subfamily Elaphrosaurinae),[1] others classifying them as megaraptorans,[2]<ref name="Samathietal2019">{{Cite journal |last1=Samathi |first1=A. |last2=Chanthasit |first2=P. |last3=Martin Sander |first3=P. |date=May 2019 |title=Two new basal coelurosaurian theropod dinosaurs from the Lower Cretaceous Sao Khua Formation of Thailand
