Qurliqnoria is an extinct genus of caprine bovid that inhabited Eurasia during the Neogene period.

Distribution

[edit]

The species C. bohlini and C. chorakensis inhabited Turkey and are believed to represent a chronospecies succession.[1] C. cheni and C. hundesiensis are known from China and likewise appear to represent a chronospecies succession,[2] with fossils of the former dating to the Tortonian,[3] while the latter's remains are from the Pliocene.[4]
