英文摘要As the lowest horizon of the Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota, the Huajiying Formation of the northern Hebei Province, China is rich with avians and feathered dinosaurs, but lacks pterosaur record. Here the first pterosaur fossil is reported from the Huajiying Formation. The new pterosaur specimen is characterised by an unusual pedal configuration of a short and spread metatarsus with elongate digits, showing a close resemblance to the dentulous Ornithocheiroidea. The pedal configuration is diverse in pterosaurs, and is often associated with ecological adaptations. In contrast to the general pattern of the elongate metatarsus and short digits, the elongate digits of the dentulous ornithocheiroids (e.g., boreopterids and istiodactylids) might offset the shortened metatarsus to enlarge the pedal surface for paddling, representing a new strategy in adaptation to the aquatic environment.
