Hainina is a mammal genus from the Upper Cretaceous - Paleocene of Europe. Though small, it outsurvived the final dinosaurs, and was a member of the extinct order of Multituberculata.
For those of a technical inclination, it's within the Suborder of Cimolodonta, and the family Kogaionidae.

Genus: Hainina Vianey-Liaud M, 1979
'from Hainin'
This genus was originally referred to ?Cimolomyidae. "We assign Hainina to the Kogaionidae (superfamily incertae sedis); it differs from Kogaionon in having ornamented enamel, while the enamel is smooth in Kogaionon," (Kielan-Jaworowska & Hurum, 2001, p.409).
Material has also been reported from the Upper Cretaceous of Romania.
