Is not the taxon described as "Cretaceous owl" Bradycneme draculae a probable synonym of E. nopcsai? If so, this should be remarked in the text and redirects from Bradycneme draculae should point to Elopteryx and from Bradycnemidae to Troodontidae (to be changed as needed in the latter case). Also, the taxa should be added to the senior synonym's taxoboxes.
See also here [1], here [2] for references for description & placement in non-avian theropods, but also [3] here for non-placement of Bradycneme in Troodontidae. Dysmorodrepanis 20:49, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
- I can't find any sources referring Elopteryx to troodontidae, and the sources you point out argue against it. I'll leave it in Maniraptora as incertae sedis for now, but redirect the genera as you recomend. Dinoguy2 21:53, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
