''Austroraptor'' (pron.:"") is an extinct genus of dromaeosaurid dinosaur that lived about 70 million years ago during the Cretaceous Period in what is now modern Argentina. ''Austroraptor'' was a medium sized, moderately-built, ground-dwelling, bipedal carnivore, that could grow up to long. Its length makes ''Austroraptor'' one of the largest dromaeosaurids known, with only ''Achillobator'', the newly discovered ''Dakotaraptor'', and ''Utahraptor'' approaching it in length. It is the largest dromaeosaur to be discovered in the Southern Hemisphere. Particularly notable about the taxon were its relatively short forearms, much shorter in proportion when compared to the majority of the members of its family. ==Etymology== The genus name ''Austroraptor'', means "Southern thief", and is derived from the Latin word ''auster'' meaning "the south wind", and the Latin word ''raptor'' meaning "thief". The specific name ''cabazai'', was named in honor of Alberto Cabaza, who founded the Museo Municipal de Lamarque where the specimen was partially studied. ''Austroraptor'' was described and named by late 2008 by Fernando Novas of the Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales. The type species is ''Austroraptor cabazai''.
