Upshot: we have three big azhdarchids that are very similar in size, and could be congeneric (or even the same species, to be honest - the geographic separations are meaningless for a flap-glider of that size), of which only Quetzalcoatlus has much material. Therefore, reconstructions of giant azhdarchs are still best done using Quetz.

2009/8/1 B tH <soylentgreenistrex@yahoo.com>:Arambourginiana philadelphidae - material too scrappy to draw a conclusive picture?I'll say. The holotype is a single incomplete cervical vertebra. For a long time, even that was lost and there was only a plaster cast. Then the holotype was found, but the middle section (of what was, remember, already an incomplete element) was broken off and remains lost.
