Citipes elegans

Citipes (meaning "fleet-footed") is an extinct genus of caenagnathid dinosaurs known from the Late Cretaceous (Campanian aged) Dinosaur Park of southern Alberta, Canada. It lived about 76.9–75.8 million years ago. The specializations of the beak in Citipes and other caenagnathids suggest that they were herbivores. The type species, C. elegans had been previously placed within the genera Chirostenotes, Elmisaurus, Leptorhynchos and Ornithomimus.
