Bohaiornis is an extinct genus of enantiornithine bird. Fossils have been found from the Lower Cretaceous Yixian Formation of western Liaoning, China. The type species B. guoi was named by Dongyu Hu, Li Li, Lianhaim Hou and Xing Xu in 2011 on the basis of a fully articulated and well-preserved skeleton of a sub-adult. It is similar to the related Eoenantiornis but much larger in size.[1]
