Dear all! Here comes my new contribution on pterosaur taxonomy, together with @pterosaurios. We revise anhanguerid pterosaurs related to Coloborhynchus, and erect some new taxa. [1/5]

We present the new species Uktenadactylus rodriguesae, from the Barremian of England. It is named after Brazilian pterosaur expert @paleotaissa, who worked extensively on anhanguerids and named the genus Uktenadactylus, based on U. wadleighi from the Albian of USA! [2/5]
Here is a nice illustration based on the type specimen by AlternatePrehistory! When it was still known as "Coloborhynchus sp." [3/5]

We also named the new genus Aerodraco (for Coloborhynchus sedgwicki) and the new genus Nicorhynchus (for C. capito, a large species with ~7 m wingspan from England, and C. fluviferox Jacobs et al. 2018, from the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco)! [4/5]
Finally, we named the new clade Tropeognathinae, which joins Tropeognathus, Siroccopteryx, Ferrodraco and Mythunga at the base of the Anhangueridae! Check this beautiful Tropeognathus reconstruction by @studio252mya [5/5]
