- Officially, Dromiceiomimus is considered synonymous with Ornithomimus.
- Dromiceiomimus is an extinct genus of dinosaur. It lived during the late Cretaceous period, 80-65 mya. It was an ornithomimid (bird-like dinosaur) around 4m (12 feet) long. They ate eggs from other dinosaurs and insects. They were noted for their large eyes and may have been nocturnal. It could also run extremely fast, speculated at 64 kph or 40 mph. It resided in North America. It was first described in the 1920s as Struthiomimus, but was renamed to Dromiceiomimus in 1972 when the Genus was divided into 3 separate genera. Dromiceiomimus means “emu mimic” (the emu is a modern flightless bird similar to an ostrich).
- The type species, D. brevitertius was originally described as a species of Struthiomimus by William Parks in 1926 on the basis of a partial postcranium, ROM 797, from the Horseshoe Canyon Formation of Alberta, Canada.[1] However, a few authors continued to treat Dromiceiomimus as valid, and Longrich (2008, 2014) treated ROM 840 (holotype of Struthiomimus samueli) as a distinct species of ornithomimid related to Ornithomimus.

- Officially, Dromiceiomimus is considered synonymous with Ornithomimus.
- The type species, D. brevitertius was originally described as a species of Struthiomimus by William Parks in 1926 on the basis of a partial postcranium, ROM 797, from the Horseshoe Canyon Formation of Alberta, Canada.[1] In his review of Canadian ornithomimids, Dale Russell made S. brevitertius the type species of a new genus, Dromiceiomimus, meaning "Emu mimic" from the old generic name for the emu, Dromiceius. Russell also synonymized Struthiomimus ingens with Dromiceimimus brevitertius. He renamed Ornithomimus samueli into a second Dromiceiomimus species: Dromiceiomimus samueli Dromiceiomimus was distinguished from Ornithomimus edmontonicus on the basis of the following characters: humerus shorter than scapula; ulna ~70% of femoral length; preacetabular process, tibia, metatarsus and pedal digit III longer compared to femur.[2] In a 1981 publication, however, Nicholls an Russell cast doubt on the validity of Dromiceiomimus and treated it as synonymous with Ornithomimus, arguing that the limb proportions might be insufficient to distinguish it from Ornithomimus.[3] In the second edition of the Dinosauria, Makovicky et al. claimed that there is no statistical support for the distinction of Dromiceiomimus from Ornithomimus and synonymized it with Ornithomimus edmontonicus.[4] However, a few authors continued to treat Dromiceiomimus as valid, and Longrich (2008, 2014) treated ROM 840 (holotype of Struthiomimus samueli) as a distinct species of ornithomimid related to Ornithomimus.
