Elektorornis is an extinct genus of enantiornithean bird known from a partial hindlimb and a small amount of wing plumage. It contains a single species, Elektorornis chenguangi. The hindlimb and feathers were preserved in a piece of 99 million year old Burmese Amber found in Myanmar. In life, the bird would have been slightly smaller than a sparrow and possibly used its characteristically elongated middle toe to probe for food. Elektorornis chenguangi is the first species of bird described from remains found in Burmese amber, although other undiagnostic enantiornithean specimens have previously been found in amber. "Elektorornis" is Greek for "amber bird".

  • 琥珀鳥屬（學名：Elektorornis）為已滅絕的反鳥類，包含唯一種陳光琥珀鳥（Elektorornis chenguangi），種名來自於中國騰衝市琥珀閣博物館的館長陳光。標本發現於缅甸 9,900 萬年前白堊紀的琥珀之中，包含了右後肢以及部分翅膀的羽毛。牠們體型略小於麻雀，後肢的中趾特別延長，且足部與中趾上布滿了角質鱗絲狀羽，推測牠們可以利用其中趾探測樹皮裡的昆蟲，類似於現存的指猴。陳光琥珀鳥為第一個在緬甸琥珀中進行命名與發表的鳥類，縱使在這些琥珀中也有發現部分尚無法辨別的反鳥類殘骸。 (zh)
