"Hainina" is an extinct mammal genus from the Upper Cretaceous to the Paleocene of Europe. Though small, it outsurvived the final dinosaurs.

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.
