Godefroit and Guo (1999) reported on a new gobiconodontid, Hangjinia chowi, from the Early Cretaceous Ordos Basin of northern China. Known by a single dentary that preserves parts of two tooth crowns externally, with one more in its crypt.
It is also possible that the only known specimen of Hangjinia chowi is, in fact, a juvenile individual
Differs from Gobiconodon in lesser enlargement of i1 and presence of only two lower premolars
