Abstract:
Reobservation on "Struthio linxiaensis Hou et al.,2005" suggests that its pelvic skeleton and eggshells are quite different from those of Struthio in some diagnoses.Hence in order to distinguish it from ostrich,Orientornis gen.nov.is erected according to the diagnosis.After revising,the genera which can be ascribed into the family Struthionidae includes Namornis,Diamantornis,Struthio and Orientornis gen.nov.
