Pandoravenator

Pandora's hunter

• Pandora · Greek · the first woman in Greek myth, whose 'box' released troubles into the world
• venator · Latin · hunter

The name combines Pandora, the figure from Greek mythology associated with the "Pandora's box" story, with the Latin word venator, meaning "hunter". This follows the common pattern of naming predatory theropods "hunter". I am not certain of the specific reason the authors chose Pandora, so I haven't stated one.

I am confident the name is built from Pandora + venator. I am not sure of the author, year, age, locality or taxonomic placement, so I left those fields blank instead of guessing. Please check them against the original description.
