Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| M. Vremir et al. 2013 | The new taxon is diagnosed by the following proposed autapomorphies (which will, of course, be subject to test by later phylogenetic analysis): (1) Length of cervical three ca. 75% of cervical four (Table 1) (the same vertebral ratios in Zhejiangopterus and Quetzalcoatlus are closer to 60%; M. Witton, pers. comm. 2012); (2) Well-developed and elongated prezygapophyseal pedicles on cervical vertebrae that enclose an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the long axis; (3) Well-developed preexapophysis with an anteriorly oriented articular facet, separated from the external prezygapophyseal diapophysis via a deep sulcus;(4) Lateral pneumatic foramina small and situated lateroventrally with respect to the neural canal. |
