[2] However, in 2010, Brian Andres re-defined the group as a stem-based taxon in his dissertation, [3] and then formalized the definition in 2014 as all pterosaurs more closely related to Pteranodon longiceps than to Pterodactylus ...

Ornithocheiromorpha (from Ancient Greek, meaning "bird hand form") is a group of pterosaurs within the suborder Pterodactyloidea. Fossil remains of this group date back from the Early to Late Cretaceous periods (Valanginian to Turonian stages), around 140 to 92.5 million years ago.
Size (blue, middle left) compared to other pterosaurs, birds, and a human. Tethydraco had a wingspan of 5 meters (16 ft) and a body mass of 15 kg (33 lb). [1] [2]The describing authors indicated some traits in which Tethydraco could be distinguished from known pteranodontids.
Azhdarchoidea (/æʒdɑːrˈkɔɪdɪːə/, meaning "azhdarchid-like forms") is a group of pterosaurs within the suborder Pterodactyloidea. Pterosaurs belonging to this group lived throughout the Early and Late Cretaceous periods, with one tentative member, Tendaguripterus, that lived in the Late Jurassic period. Remains of this group have been ...
