Mesadactylus

Bennett (pers. comm. cited in Bennett 2007) considers Mesadactylus to be an anurognathid, with referred specimens belonging to Pterodactyloidea. If Mesadactylus does belong to Anurognathidae, then it would represent the first anurognathid from North America.

Mass merge proposal

A couple of folks over at WT:PAL have discussed a big consolidation of the taxonomy articles for Pterosauria. The exact details of our plan can be found here. I will be posting a notice on all the proposed articles so that anyone can express objection/support regarding any specific merge in particular. The merges in general are based on the criteria of WP:N, WP:NPOV, and WP:REDUNDANT as well as the precedent established with the merging of similar dinosaur articles (Cerapoda, Genasauria, Plateosauria, Averostra, etc).
