    摘要:

    1 Introduction Toothless pterosaurs are much less abundant than toothed forms and most of them come from the Late Cretaceous (Wellnhofer, 1991). Toothless forms from the Early Cretaceous of western Liaoning are Tapejaridae including Sinopterus dongi (Wang and Zhou, 2002), Sinopterus gui (Li et al., 2003) and a new genus (Lü and Yuan, in review); Chaoyangopterus (Wang and Zhou, 2003); Jidapterus (Dong et al., 2003) and a new pterosaur (Lü and Zhang, in review). The long and toothless …

    Abstract:

    A nearly complete skeleton with a lower jaw of pterosaur from the Early Cretaceous of western Liaoning is described and assigned to a new genus, Eoazhdarcho gen. nov.. The new genus is characterized by a relatively small size, the ratio of the length to width of the middle series cervical vertebrae approximately 3.5 and the ratio of humeral length to femoral length approximately 0.96. The humerus of Eoazhdarcho shows great resemblances to that of previously described Azhdarchidae, so it is assigned to the family Azhdarchidae.
