The largest of non-pterodactyloid pterosaurs as well as the largest Jurassic pterosaur [16] was Dearc, with an estimated wingspan between 2.2 m (7 ft 3 in) and 3.8 m (12 ft). [17] Only a fragmentary rhamphorhynchid specimen from Germany could be larger (184 % the size of the biggest Rhamphorhynchus ). [ 18 ]
Pteranodon (/ t ə ˈ r æ n ə d ɒ n /; from Ancient Greek: πτερόν, romanized: pteron ' wing ' and ἀνόδων, anodon ' toothless ') [2] [better source needed] is a genus of pterosaur that included some of the largest known flying reptiles, with P. longiceps having a wingspan of over 6 m (20 ft).
Thanatosdrakon was a giant pterosaur. The holotype specimen is estimated to have had a wingspan of around 7 m (23 ft), while the paratype has been given an even larger wingspan estimate at around 9 m (30 ft), making Thanatosdrakon the largest known pterosaur from South America.
Hatzegopteryx ("Hațeg basin wing") is a genus of azhdarchid pterosaur found in the late Maastrichtian deposits of the Densuş Ciula Formation, an outcropping in Transylvania, Romania. It is known only from the type species , Hatzegopteryx thambema , named by paleontologists Eric Buffetaut, Dan Grigorescu, and Zoltan Csiki in 2002 based on ...

Arambourgiania is one of the largest flying animals ever discovered. Initial wingspan estimates ranged from 11 to 13 m (36 to 43 ft), which would have made it the largest known pterosaur. However, due to Arambourgiania only presenting fragmentary specimens, recent research has suggested more moderate wingspan estimates.
