Albertosaurinae

Common card · No. 211553

Albertosaurinae is a subfamily of tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaurs known from the Late Cretaceous of the United States and Canada. The subfamily was first used by Philip J. Currie, Jørn H. Hurum, and Karol Sabath and defined as "(Albertosaurus + Gorgosaurus)", including only the two genera. The group is the sister clade to Tyrannosaurinae. In 2007, it was found that the group also contained Maleevosaurus, often synonymized with Tarbosaurus. However, this classification has not been accepted and Maleevosaurus is still considered a juvenile Tarbosaurus or Tyrannosaurus. A new taxon, Tromerosaurus solumons, was named as a probable member of this clade in 2026.
