Looking for Refs on Herbiviorous Theropods



It seems to be received wisdom that at least some ornithomimosaurs and
therizinosaurs were herbivorous, or at least omnivorous.  I believe I
have also seen this said of oviraptorosaurs, though less frequently.
Have any other theropod groups been seriously proposed as
non-carnivores?

I would very much appreciate references for publications that have
argues for herbivorous/omnivorous habits in any of these theropod
groups.  Please send them directly to me; I will summarise to the
list.  Many thanks in advance.
