Some limb bone fossils of a small sized bird were discovered from the brown-red sandy clay of the Early-Middle Paleocene Fangou Formation at Shimen region, Luonan County, Shaanxi Province, China. Its leg is straight, long and slender. Digit III is the longest digit but shorter than the tarsometatarsus. Hypotarsus with two narrow sulci. It is not clear whether such features as: tarsometatarsns without a foramen vasculare distale, metatarsi incompletely fused, represent primitive conditions or a juvenile stage of the bird. Therefore it is impossible to define its systematic position. It is named here Qinornis paleocenica n. gen. n. spec., incertae sedis.
