    摘要:

    1 Introduction Tapejarids are a group of highly specialized pterosaurs with a short skull bearing high premaxillary and deep dentary crests. Due to their skull morphologies, the tapejarid pterosaurs are easily set apart from other pterosaur clades (Kellner, 1995, 1996). The tapejarids found so far are mainly distributed in Brazil (Wellnhofer, 1991), Morocco (Wellnhofer and Buffetaut, 1999) and northeastern China (Wang and Zhou, 2002; Li et al., 2003). All the known Chinese tapejarid pter…

    Abstract:

    A new tapejarid pterosaur Huaxiapterus jii gen. et sp. nov. is erected based on a nearly complete skeleton with a skull. The skull morphology of Huaxiapterus jii gen. et sp. nov. appears transitional between the skulls of Sinopterus and Tapejara. The skull morphology (low crest) of Huaxiapterus jii indicates that Huaxiapterus is more closely related to Sinopterus than to Tapejara, which has a high crest. The relatively long and shallow skull of Sinopterus indicates that it is a primitive form. Huaxiapterus is more derived than Sinopterus but more primitive than Tapejara.
