RE: harpymimids

From what I've read, "Grusimimus" was originally identified as a Harpymimus, but differences in the pelvis convinced Barsbold that it was generically distinct (but still closely related).
Oddly enough, Garudimimus may be the next most closely related (and therefore another potential member of a Family Harpymimidae), and it could bring genus Archaeornithomimus along with it. But even so, because of my preference for broad families, I might still prefer to include such a "harpymimid" clade within Family Ornithomimidae.
Hopefully "Grusimimus" (whether that is the official name or not) will be published soon. The other proposed generic name (Tsur......) might be preferable though.

Also I think you mean Grudimimus which is also linked on the page. 

Afraid not.  follow these links to see what I meant by "grusimimus":

story:  http://www.dino-nakasato.org/en/topics/tsuru/indexTsuru-e.html

name:  http://www.dino-nakasato.org/en/topics/tsuru/tsuru4-e.html

not fully named specimen.  that name was suggested, though.

However, I can't remember where I found it thought to be a harpymimid.
Maybe on the dinolist archives...
