The book includes both _Tapejara_ and _Tupuxuara_.
Pterosaurs discovered too recently to be included are _Cycnorhampha_
(what is this?), _Zhenjiangopterus_, _Benettazhia_, (both azhdarchids)
_Kepodactylus_ (indet. ?pterodactyloid), _Arambourgiania_ (another
azhdarchid.. new name for _Titanopteryx_ which _is_ included) and a
variety of unnamed forms.
These are off the top of my head, so apologies for spelling mistakes.
Any other recently named taxa are news to me.
