Abstract:

A new enantiornithine bird Gracilornis jiufotangensis gen. et sp. nov. is described from Early Cretaceous Jiufotang Formation in Chaoyang, western Liaoning Province. This new bird is distinguishable from other known enantiornithines in having slender skeleton, well developed arthroses of limbs, small sternum (sternum length／trunk length≈0.11, sternum width／trunk length≈0.13). This bird is referred to the family Cathayornithidae.

Key words: Chaoyang in Liaoning Province, Early Cretaceous, Jiufotang Formation, Enantiornithines
