Iteravis ("journey bird") is an extinct genus of ornithuromorph avialan. It was found in the Yixian Formation and lived during the Early Cretaceous period of what is today the Liaoning Province of China. The type and only species is I. huchzermeyeri, named in honor of the archosaur paleontologist Dr. Fritz Huchzermeyer, who died shortly before Iteravis was described.^[1]
