Carnotaurinae is a subfamily of the theropod dinosaur family Abelisauridae. As the name suggests, it includes the famous genus Carnotaurus as well as its close relatives from the Cretaceous Period of Argentina and Brazil. The group was first proposed by American paleontologist Paul Sereno in 1998, defined as a clade containing all abelisaurids more closely related to Carnotaurus than to Majungasaurus.[1]
