Latenivenatrix, meaning "hiding huntress", is a genus of large troodontid known from a single species, L. mcmasterae. Along with the contemporary Stenonychosaurus, it is known from non-tooth fossils that were formerly assigned to the now potentially dubious genus Troodon. Although described as separate, it has been considered a junior synonym of Stenonychosaurus.[1]
