H. benxiensis sp. nov.

LÜ Junchang*, GAO Yubo, XING Lida, Li Zhixin, SUN Zhenyuan. 2007. New species of Huaxiapterus from the Early Cretaceous of western Liaoning. Acta Geologica Sinica (English edition), 81(5): 683–687.

Abstract: A new species of Huaxiapterus: Huaxiapterus benxiensis sp. nov. is erected based on the new specimen. The diagnostic characters of Huaxiapterus benxiensis are well-developed premaxillary crest and parietal spine, the crest and spine parallel and extending postodorsally, and a shallow wide groove present on the dorsal surface of the anterior portion of the mandibular symphysis. The different skull morphologies of Chinese tapejarid pterosaurs indicate that they are much more diverse than the previous thought.
