Spectrovenator ("ghost hunter", named because the holotype was unexpectedly found under the holotype of Tapuiasaurus and it was found in October) is a genus of basal abelisaurid theropod dinosaur that lived during the early Cretaceous period in what is now Brazil. It is known by a single species, S. ragei, recovered from the Quiricó Formation.[1]
