Noasaurids were a group of theropod dinosaurs from the Cretaceous Period (Aptian/Albian-Maastrichtian ages[1]). They were generally small in size. They were closely related to and built similarly to the Abelisauridae. The best known noasaurid is Masiakasaurus knopfleri from Madagascar.[2]
Noasauridae is defined as all theropods closer to Noasaurus than to Carnotaurus.
