Perhaps "tyrannosaurinian"?  The etymology of "tyrannosaurinid" would, I 
think, be "like the Tyrannosaurini" (much as tyrannosaurid means "like 
_Tyrannosaurus_"), which isn't quite right.  "Tyrannosaurinian" would mean 
"pertaining to the Tyrannosaurini", 
which I think is closer to what we want.
