A new pterodactyloid pterosaur from the Santana Formation

A partial skull comprising fused maxilla/premaxilla and 
palate of a ctenochasmatoid pterosaur from the Santana 
Formation of the Araripe Basin in NE Brazil is named as 
the new genus and species Unwindia trigonus gen. et sp. 
nov. on account of its long slender rostrum, isodonty 
with raised dental alveoli and dentition of seven tooth 
pairs restricted to the portion of the rostrum anterior 
to the nasoantorbital fenestra. Unwindia is assigned to 
the Ctenochasmatoidea, and is probably basal within the 
clade.
