be relatively long and shallow, suggesting that the bite was not as powerful. The inside of the lower jaws also bore a complex series of ridges and toothlike processes, as well as a pair of horizontal, shelf-like structures. Furthermore, the jaws were unusual in being hollow and air filled, apparently being connected to the air sac system.
675:. While before 2010s only about two to six species were commonly recognized as belonging to the Caenagnathidae, currently that number may be much greater, with new discoveries and theories about older species that may inflate this number to up to ten. Much of this historical difference centers on the first caenagnathid to be described,
623:
Overall, the anatomy of the caenagnathids is similar to that of the closely related
Oviraptoridae, but there are a number of differences. In particular, caenagnathid jaws exhibited a distinct suite of specializations not seen in other oviraptorosaurs. Compared to the oviraptorids, the jaws tended to

Analysis of oviraptorosaur functional morphology reveals that caenagnathids were not as well suited to herbivory as more primitive oviraptorosaurs, and their close relatives, the oviraptorids. Their mandibles have a lower mechanical advantage anteriorly but not posteriorly, similar to the

Cretaceous period, as shown by the presence of

Caenagnathids also tended to be more lightly built than the oviraptorids. They had slender arms and long, gracile legs, although they lacked the extreme cursorial specializations seen in avimimids and
