Abstract: An isolated, partial premaxilla from the Lower Cretaceous (Barremian) Wessex Formation of Yaverland, Isle of Wight, UK is identified as pterosaurian on account of its overall morphology and thin bone walls. It is regarded as a tapejarid on account of it unique downturned tip with a unique pattern of slit-like foramina on its occlusal surface, while a combination of sensory foramina and lateral outline identify it as a new genus and species.The downturn of the occlusal margin lies beyond the anterior margin of … Show more

“… Martill et al (2020a) had already reported on the intra- and interspecific variation of this feature within tapejarids. According to our own observations, deflection angles (as measured between the long axis of the deflected rostrum and the long axis of the maxilojugal bar) vary between 21°–25° in Tupandactylus imperator , 23°–25° in Tup.…”

“…Coding for Bakonydraco galaczi is restricted to jaw elements ( Ősi, Weishampel & Jianu, 2005 ; Ősi, Buffetaut & Prondvai, 2011 ). Coding for Afrotapejara zouhri is based on the holotype and the three referred specimens ( Martill et al, 2020a ). Coding for Aerotitan sudamericanus follows the interpretation of the holotype as a lower jaw ( Pêgas et al, 2021 ; contra Andres, 2021 ).…”

“…The Tapejaridae are a notable azhdarchoid clade of pterosaurs, characterized by a prominent premaxillary crest and huge nasoantorbital fenestra 1 . This group is widely distributed in the Early Cretaceous, being found in Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America 2 – 5 . They flourished in the Jehol Biota with a preponderance of immature individuals 1 , 6 , 7 .…”

“…They are characterized by their short, downturned rostra and sagittal premaxillary and dentary crests that start on the rostral region of the skull ( Kellner & Campos, 2007 ). They comprise over 10 species (up to 19 proposed species), spanning from the Barremian to the Santonian; with records from Brazil, Morocco, Europe and China ( Kellner & Campos, 2007 ; Vullo et al, 2012 ; Andres, Clark & Xu, 2014 ; Pêgas, Leal & Kellner, 2016 ; Martill et al, 2020 ).…”
