Description : Rinchenia was a genus of Mongolian oviraptorid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Period. Rinchenia mongoliensis was originally considered a species within the genus Oviraptor (named Oviraptor mongoliensis by Rinchen Barsbold in 1986),
The name Rinchenia was coined for this new genus by Barsbold in 1997, though he did not describe it in detail, and the name remained a nomen nudum until used by Osmólska et al. in 2004.
Rinchenia is known from a single specimen (GI 100/32A) consisting of a complete skull and lower jaw, partial vertebral column, partial forelimbs and shoulder girdle, partial hind limbs and pelvis, and a furcula ("wishbone"). While Rinchenia was about the same size as Oviraptor (about 1.5 meters, or 5 ft long), several features of its skeleton, especially in the skull, show it to be distinct. It skeleton was more lightly built and less robust than that of Oviraptor, and while the crest of Oviraptor is indistinct because of poor fossil preservation, Rinchenia had a well-preserved, highly developed, dome-like casque which incorporated many bones in the skull that are free of the crest in Oviraptor.

Rinchenia
Rinchenia mongoliensis was originally considered a species within the genus
Oviraptor (named Oviraptor mongoliensis by Rinchen Barsbold in 1986), but a
re-examination by Barsbold in 1997 found differences significant enough to
warrant a separate genus. The name Rinchenia was coined for this new genus by
Barsbold in 1997, though he did not describe it in detail, and the name
remained a nomen nudum until used by Osmólska et al. in 2004.
