Pterodactyloidea (/ˌtɛrəˈdækt͡ɬɔɪdɪːə/; derived from the Greek words πτερόν (pterón, for usual ptéryx) "wing", and δάκτυλος (dáktylos) "finger") [1] is one of the two traditional suborders of pterosaurs ("wing lizards"), and contains the most derived members of this group of flying reptiles.
Propterodactylus (meaning "before Pterodactylus") is an extinct genus of transitional monofenestratan pterosaurs from the Late Jurassic Painten Formation of Germany. The genus contains a single species, P. frankerlae, known from a complete articulated skeleton.
Pterosaurs are also colloquially referred to as pterodactyls, particularly in fiction and journalism. [16] However, technically, pterodactyl may refer to members of the genus Pterodactylus , and more broadly to members of the suborder Pterodactyloidea of the pterosaurs.
