Luopterus gen. nov.

Luopterus mutoudengensis (LÃ & Hone, 2012) comb. nov.

David W. E. Hone (2020)
A review of the taxonomy and palaeoecology of the Anurognathidae (Reptilia, Pterosauria).

The anurognathids are an enigmatic and distinctive clade of small, nonâpterodactyloid pterosaurs with an unusual combination of anatomical traits in the head, neck, wings and tail. They are known from very limited remains and few have been described in detail, and as a result, much of their biology remains uncertain. This is despite their importance as potentially one of the earliest branches of pterosaur evolution or even lying close to the origins of pterodactyloids. This review covers the taxonomy and palaeoecology of the anurognathids, which remain an interesting branch of pterosaurian evolution.
