Sinomacrops: a new anurognathid from Tiaojishan Formation

[Smilodon P.]

According to the text, this is the first record of an anurognathid skull exposed in mostly lateral view

They presented a new proposal from phylogenetic relationships of the group, resulting in a new hypothesis for the placement of the group as basal monofenestratans.

I'm in love!

I wouldn't call "anurognathids are basal monofenestratans" a new hypothesis exactly, since that's basically the view of the majority of specialist pterosaur researchers. The species itself is really cool though!

A bit surprised by the long tail! That painting is beautiful, I wondered who made it but of course it was Zhao Chuang.

By far one of the cutest pterosaur artworks I've seen. Hope to see CollectA do a deluxe figure of this one for sure. A figure of this from PNSO would be nice too, honestly.

Seconded!  I really want a good anurognathid in my collection.

Count me for that too. I would love some or even one lovely Anuragnathid. I have become very fond of the adorable little frogmouth pterosaurs recently, and the lack of representation is well disappointing to say the least.

It's a very rare pterosaur straight out of a fantasy movie or science fiction movie for kids, those pterosaurs should at least be decently represented by some company. I don't know, or at least I don't have any pterosaurs in my collection like this one or the famous anuroghatus. @Gothmog the Baryonyx  I totally agree with you, those pterosaurs need a hell of a lot more love from a brand of toy dinosaurs.
