包括齐斯与简妮·席梦兹（Keith and Jenny Simmonds）在内的几位业馀古生物学家开始搜索兽脚类的其他遗骸。最后总共找到的骨骼部位包含：吻部、牙齿、前下颌、脊柱的大部分、肋骨、腹肋、人字骨、左肩胛骨、骨盆、一条后肢。这些化石的标本编号分别为 BMNH R10001和MIWG 6348。一共可建构出整体骨架的70％完整度。1985年由怀特岛博物馆的史帝夫·赫特（Steve Hutt）博士所领导的挖掘活动发现了属于第二只个体的两个脊椎：MIWG.5470标本。1987年简妮·席梦兹发现第三具骨架：MIWG.6352标本，包括脊椎与骨盆。第四只个体为IWCMS 2002.186标本，部位有下颌、脊椎、肢骨。1990年，赫特描述了一具当时认为是斑龙可能新种的骨骸，因为将MIWG 6352标本的坐骨误辨为耻骨而认为这标本代表不同物种。[2]
已知部位
1996年赫特、大卫·马提尔（David M. Martill）、麦可·巴克（Michael J. Barker）命名、描述了模式种瑟氏新猎龙（Neovenator salerii）。属名由希腊语的neo~（新）与拉丁语的venator（猎人）组成。种名纪念发现地点的土地拥有者瑟列罗（Salero）家族。有鉴于整趟发现过程涉及了多名人士，将其中特定一位当作发现者并不恰当。正模标本为BMNH R10001与MIWG 6348。[3]
