I don't know of any pterosaurs, but the theropod Spinostropheus was also 
from the Tiouraren Formation:

Sereno, P. C., J. A. Wilson and J. L. Conrad. 2004. New dinosaurs link 
southern landmasses in the Mid-Cretaceous. Proceedings of the Royal Society 
of London B: Biological Sciences 271(1546):1325-1330.

(Fortuitously free online through Royal Society Publishing if needed.)
