A New Darwinopterid Pterosaur from the Middle Jurassic of Western Liaoning, Northeastern China and its Ecological Implications

Abstract: A new species of Darwinopterus, D. robustodens sp. nov. is described and named. Based on the new specimen, the diagnostic characters of Darwinopterus are amended and include: rostral dentition composed of well‐spaced, spike‐like teeth; the longest teeth are confined to the anterior half of the tooth row; tooth alveoli have raised margins; nasoantorbital fenestra confluent; inclined quadrate; elongate cervical vertebrae with low neural spine and reduced or absent ribs; long tail of more than 20 caudals partiall… Show more

“…In their original description, Lü et al (2011a) implied that the wukongopterid specimen ZMNH M8802/IVPP V 18043 represented the species Darwinopterus modularis, failing to acknowledge the existence of other members of this clade (Wang et al 2009(Wang et al , 2010. Oddly, in the same year, Lü et al (2011b) reinterpreted one of the original males (HGM 41HIII-0309A; Lü et al 2011a) as a new species, Darwinopterus robustodens (still not acknowledging previous studies on the Wukongopteridae).…”

“…In some specimens, the crest is absent (Wang et al 2010, Lü et al 2011a) while in others it varies in shape and extension (Wang et al 2010, Lü et al 2011b, Cheng et al 2016. More recently, a specimen with an associated egg, that lacked a crest, was reported (Lü et al 2011a), raising the possibility that the presence and absence of such structure might indicate sexual dimorphism in pterosaurs.…”
