It is possible that some _Caenagnathus_ jaw fragments may prove to be 
"avimimids", given that _Avimimus_, _Elmisaurus_ and _Chirostenotes_ all 
appear to be oviraptorosaurs.  It could be that "avimimids", "caenagnathids" 
and "elmisaurids" in fact represent the same clade of basal oviraptorosaurs.

Cheers
