Lucianovenator is an extinct genus of coelophysid theropod dinosaur which lived in Argentina during the Triassic.[1] The genus name Lucianovenator translates to "Luciano's hunter", in reference to Don Luciano Leyes, who first reported the remains. The species name bonoi refers to Tulio del Bono, a local scientific authority who collaborated on the describers' research. It is one of the few neotheropods known from South America.[1]
