Microvenator is part of the Maniraptora.

Maniraptora Gauthier, 1986 sensu Holtz, 1996 "big-handed raiders" == 
{Neornithes > Ornithomimus} =Manuraptora
    |  |    ?Palaeopteryx
    |  |     Protarchaeopteryx
    |  |    ?Timimus
    |  `--+ == {Neornithes + Oviraptor} =Maniraptora sensu Sereno
    |     |--+ == {Oviraptor > Neornithes} =Oviraptorosauria sensu Currie & 
Padian, 1997
    |     |  |     INCERTAE SEDIS:
    |     |  |     indeterminate material (neck vertebrae) -- late Late 
Jurassic -- U.S.A.
    |     |  |    ?unnamed form -- Albian -- Brazil
    |     |  |    ?indeterminate material (neck vertebra) -- Late 
Cretaceous -- Argentina
    |     |  |    ?Shanyangosaurus
    |     |  |--+     INCERTAE SEDIS:
    |     |  |  |     unnamed form (jaws) -- Kazakhstan
    |     |  |  |    ?unnamed form (caudal vertebra) -- late Late Jurassic 
-- U.S.A.
    |     |  |  |     Thecocoelurus
    |     |  |  |?-Caudipteryx
    |     |  |  `--+--Microvenator



And Camarasaurus not "Camaraursaurus" is in its own family camarsaurids 
among the Macronaria.

Macronaria Wilson & Sereno "large nares" == {Saltasaurus > Diplodocus}
 |     INCERTAE SEDIS:
 |    ?unnamed form ( (juvenile): specimens) -- Late Jurassic -- Germany
 |    ?Abrosaurus
 |     Bashunosaurus
 |     Chondrosteosaurus
 |     Sugiyamasaurus
 `--Camarasauromorpha "Camarasaurus forms" == {Camarasaurus + Saltasaurus}
    |--Camarasauridae
       |?-Aragosaurus
       |--"Camarasaurus"
       `?-Lourinhasaurus

Sorry for my bad cladograms!
