Since Velociraptor was the first to be named, these species were renamed Velociraptor antirrhopus and V. langstoni. [22] As of 2008, the only currently recognized species of Velociraptor are V. mongoliensis [14] [37] [38] and V. osmolskae. [15] However, several studies have found "V." osmolskae to be distantly related to V. mongoliensis. [39] [40]

Dinosaur classification began in 1842 when Sir Richard Owen placed Iguanodon, Megalosaurus, and Hylaeosaurus in "a distinct tribe or suborder of Saurian Reptiles, for which I would propose the name of Dinosauria." [1] In 1887 and 1888 Harry Seeley divided dinosaurs into the two orders Saurischia and Ornithischia, based on their hip structure. [2]
