- Oviraptoridae is a family of maniraptorian theropods closely related to the caenagnathids and therizinosaurs. They possessed toothless beaks and had a highly debated diet; it was originally thought to be of dinosaur eggs, but is now suspected to have been at least primarily herbivorous, though some may have been partly carnivorous. Some species had head crests and some didn't, though it does not appear as if these two groups formed a natural division within the family. Classification both within this family and within its superfamily, Caenagnathoidea, is somewhat uncertain.

* Nemegtomaia barsboldi, originally named Nemegtia and once assigned to "Ingenia", is probably a close relative of Citipati, known from excellent skull material.
* Citipati osmolskae was named based on several well-known specimens, including nesting adults, eggs, and an embryo. It had an anteriorly-placed crest and lived at the same time and place as Oviraptor.
* Citipati sp., a specimen recently referred to the genus Citipati, was found in the 1980s and previously thought to be Oviraptor. It had a forward-sloping cassowary-like crest.
* Conchoraptor gracilis is a small crestless form with a slender second toe. Many specimens have been referred to it, but there have been no detailed studies showing exactly which ones are correctly referred.
* Khaan mckennai is another taxon that closely resembles Conchoraptor, but has a reduced third finger. It lived alongside Citipati.
* "Ingenia" yanshini has also had a lot of material referred to it that probably doesn't belong. It was contemporaneous with Conchoraptor, and work needs to be done separating their remains from each other. "Ingenia"s hand is distinguished by a very large first finger and reduced second and third fingers. The name "Ingenia" is preoccupied and will be replaced in the near future.
* Heyuannia huangi is the first named oviraptorid from China and resembles Ingenia closely, but is distinguished by having more hip vertebrae and the first finger fused with the wrist. Other possible oviraptorids include Nomingia gobienisis, Shixinggia oblita, and the early Microvenator celer. All three have been suggested to be oviraptorids, caenagnathids, or more primitive than either group.

Though no oviraptorids appear as standalone dinosaurs (Oviraptor is a Move Card Grass Dinosaur), being small theropods they would likely be Wind Dinosaurs.
