Dinosaur-bird named after Tolkien monster



Hello,
I'm new at the list. I'm Joao S.Lopes, Brazilian, and I have great interest in Paleontology although I'm not a professional.
What's the dinosaur the was named after a monster from Tolkien's stories? I forgot its name, it's something like Smaugia, SMugia, or alike. All I remember is that he is described as a flying dinosaur near birds.
As I said I'm arriving now...what is the taxonomy of Bambiraptor?
