Hainina is a mammal genus from the Upper Cretaceous to the Paleocene of Europe. Though small, it outsurvived the final dinosaurs. It was a member of the extinct order Multituberculata within the suborder Cimolodonta and family Kogaionidae.
Genus
The genus Hainina ("from Hainin") was named by Vianey-Liaud M. in 1979. This genus was originally referred to as ?Cimolomyidae. "We assign Hainina to the Kogaionidae (superfamily incertae sedis); it differs from Kogaionon in having ornamented enamel, while the enamel is smooth in Kogaionon," (Kielan-Jaworowska & Hurum, 2001, p.409). Material has also been reported from the Upper Cretaceous of Romania.
