Re: Question for the pterosaur set...

[Rob Taylor <rjtaylor68@comcast.net>]

This led me first to the Wiki page on Tupandactylus, and then to Darren 
Naish's recent posting at Tetrapod Zoology, which explains all:
http://scienceblogs.com/tetrapodzoology/2008/01/crato_formation_tapejarids.php

Bit of a messy situation, this. I rather hope (as Darren suggests could 
happen) that both names ultimately come to represent two valid and distinct 
taxa.Seems a shame that Ingridia had to be sunk right out of the gate.
