Liliensternus was a slim coelophysoid theropod from the Triassic and Jurassic periods, between 215-200 mya. Liliensternus was originally found in 1934 in Germany and was named after the German scientist, Count Von Lilienstern. Liliensternus was around 6 meters long and may have preyed on herbivores like Plateosaurus. It probably weighed around 400 kilograms.
The type species is Liliensternus liliensterni. A second species, Liliensternus airelensis, which had an extra pair of cervical pleurocoels, may be a separate genus, according to Rauhut and Hungerbuhler, 2000.
