Abstract: A new long-tailed pterosaur, Wukongopterus lii gen. et sp. nov, is described based on an almost complete skeleton (IVPP V15113) representing an individual with an estimated wing span of 730 mm. The specimen was discovered in strata that possibly represent the Daohugou Bed (or Daohugou Formation) at Linglongta, Jianchang, Liaoning Province, China. Wukongopterus lii is a non-pterodactyloid pterosaur diagnosed by the first two pairs of premaxillary teeth protruding beyond the dentary, elongated cervical vertebrae… Show more

“…The left humerus is exposed laterally and an imprint in the matrix indicates that the deltopectoral crest was developed (Fig. 4a), but more confined to the proximal portion of the humerus, which is regarded as a plesiomorphic trait within pterosaurs (e.g., Wang et al 2009). The right humerus is exposed in dorsal view and shows a tiny foramen in the proximal half (Fig.…”

“…The stratigraphy of these deposits is disputed, with some regarding them as part of the Daohugou Formation (e.g., Wang et al 2009), whereas others refer them to the Tiaojishan Formation (e.g., Lü et al 2010). There are also questions about the age of these deposits, ranging from Middle to Late Jurassic (Zhang 2002 up to the Early Cretaceous (e.g., , He et al 2004).…”
