Von Huene, 1932Coeluroides ("hollow form") is a nomen dubium. A small, little-known dinosaur, specifically a theropod, Coeluroides lived during the Late Cretaceous Period in what is now India. It is known from scattered tail vertebrae discovered in the Lameta Formation. It is estimated at two meters long and perhaps thirty kilograms in weight, similar to but larger than Jubbulpuria.
The type species, Coeluroides largus, was described by Friedrich von Huene and Matley in 1932.
