The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature has conserved the binomen Quetzalcoatlus northropi for a species of pterosaur that is the largest known flying organism, by ruling that both the generic name Quetzalcoatlus Lawson, 1975 and specific name northropi Lawson, 1975 are available and take authorship from Lawson, 1975.
