- n. A genus of extinct pterosaurian reptiles, or pterodactyls: so called from the fact that their teeth were of two kinds, the anterior long, the posterior mostly very short. The tail was long, and the other characters mostly as in
Rhamphorhynchus ; the metacarpus was comparatively short, and the ends of the toothless jaws were probably sheathed in horn.
