A new oviraptorosaur  Nankangia jiangxiensis  gen. et sp. nov. is described on the basis of a partial postcranial skeleton with a partial lower jaw collected from the Upper Cretaceous Nanxiong Formation of Ganzhou, in Jiangxi Province of southern China. The new taxon is diagnosed by: (1) a mandibular symphysis that is not turned down; (2) neural spines of the cranial caudal vertebrae that are wider transversely than anteroposteriorly, forming a large posterior fossa with rugose central areas; (3) a femoral neck extending at an angle of about 90 to the shaft; and (4) a ratio of femur to tibia length of 0.95. Phylogenetic analysis recovers  Nankangia  as basal to the oviraptorid  Yulong , but more derived than  Caenagnathus , which also has a mandibular symphysis that is not turned down. The coexistence of  Nankangia jiangxiensis ,  Ganzhousaurus nankangensis, Jiangxisaurus ganzhouensis , an unnamed oviraptorid from Nanxiong Basin and  Banji long  suggests that they occupied distinct ecological niches.  Nankangia  may have been more herbivorous than carnivorous.
