Qurliqnoria is an extinct genus of caprine bovid that inhabited Eurasia during the Neogene period.
The species Q. bohlini and Q. chorakensis inhabited Turkey and are believed to represent a chronospecies succession. [1] Q. cheni and Q. 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.
