Ainia is an extinct genus of prehistoric ray-finned fish that lived during the Kimmeridgian stage of the Late Jurassic epoch. It contains a single species, A. armata, known from the famous Solnhofen Limestone of Germany.[1][3] It is a distant relative of the bowfin, although it is more closely related to genera such as Caturus and Osteorachis.[4][5]
