The article currently (Aug 20, 2021) states that the list has 247 genera. How many of these are valid? The similar article on dinosaur genera states both the total number and the valid number. It would also be great to add the number of species and the number of genera that are monospecific.
Hi. I've been going through the red names, and when I came to Campylognathus, I discovered it is a preoccupied name, replaced by Strand in 1928 by Campylognathoides (Pterosaur database, www.pterosaur.co.uk). I've made a note and a reference in the article Hope no-one objects. Cheers --Gazzster 10:53, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
I notice that X is a listed section in this article despite the fact that it contains no items, however V is not listed at all. I don't know if there are any pterosaurs starting with either V or X, but it still seems a bit inconsistent- unfortunately, I also don't know what Wikipedia's policy is on blank letter categories. Perhaps someone should look into this and resolve the inconsistency? - green_meklar 22:05, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Which one was the largest? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fishlover3 (talk • contribs) 17:08, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
By the way, it's Quetzalcoatlus and its fossils have been found in Texas, but no verified remains are known from Montana. You talk about the animal like you're a dino expert but obviously not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.36.148.242 (talk) 03:27, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
is the font supposed to be this small, or is it just my computer? --Spotty11222 (talk) 03:59, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Both of these genera are valid, I also have the descriptions on hand, these are:
Cathayopterus grabaui Wang, X. and Zhou Z. 2006. Pterosaur adaptational radiation of the Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota, pp. 665–689, 937–938. In: Rong J., Fang Z., Zhou Z., Zhan R., Wang X., and Yuan X. (eds), Originations and Radiations—Evidences from the Chinese Fossil Record. Beijing: Science Press.
Yixianopterus jingangshanensis Lü, J., Ji, S., Yuan, C., Gao, Y., Sun, Z. and Ji, Q. 2006. New pterodactyloid pterosaur from the Lowe Cretaceous Yixian Formation of Western Liaoning, p. 195–203. In: Lü, J., Kobayashi, Y., Huang, D. and Lee, Y. (eds), Papers form the 2005 Heyuan International Dinosaur Symposium. Beijing: Geological Publishing House.
Also, the correct spelling of Несов is Nesov, not Nessov, this is an oddly common mistake that typically appears in reference listings written in English.

These three names are still lacking in the list — even though Lacusovagus does have its own article!--MWAK (talk) 18:07, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi. I created a list of pterosaur-bearing stratigraphic units a while back. You guys should check it out. I would really appreciate some input. Thanks!Dgrootmyers (talk) 06:36, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
Argument aside of whether or not sceromochus should be considered a pterosaur. It's current classification is Pterosauria, should it not be included in the list?. p.s. the row above quetzalcoatius is off to the left. CptPugwash (talk) 01:24, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
I know nothing about Pterosaurs beyond what little i read. However, is it not true to say that a) Sceromochus has previously been classed as a Pterosaur & b) Pterosauromorpha is synonymous with Pterosaur, therefore to be classified as Pterosaromorpha is to be classified as Pterosaur (rightly or wrongly). I'm not arguing that Sceromochus is a Pterosaur, i have zero opinion on the subject, only that it should be included in the list with a note about its classification.CptPugwash (talk) 11:01, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

According to this, Agadirichnus returns to be a valid ichnogenus. Could someone more specialized in ichnology eliminate the redirection towards Pteraichnus and create its own article? Super Ψ Dro 14:18, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
