英文摘要The Huajiying Formation (135.4-128.7 Ma) of the northern Hebei represents the early stage of the Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota in China, yielding many kinds of vertebrates. The only known pterosaur specimen was incomplete and assigned to the Ornithocheiroidea. Here we report a more complete pterosaur specimen, assigned to the Ctenochasmatidae. A new taxon is established on two autapomorphies: a large pneumatic foramen present on the ventral surface of the proximal end of the first wing phalanx; and coracoid lacking an expansion at its contact with the scapula, as well as the following combination of characteristics: subsquare sternal plate; coracoid having an extremely concave articulation with a posterior expansion; humerus without a tubercle on the proximal margin between the deltopectoral crest and the head; humerus slightly longer than the wing metacarpal; and the first and third wing phalanges equal in length. The relative thicknesses of bone walls are investigated among pterosaurs in three ways. The overall distribution of R/t ratios shows that most non-pterodactyloids, archaeopterodactyloids, and dsungaripterids have smaller R/t ratios than other groups. Relatively thick bone walls are not unique for the Dsun-garipteridae as previously thought, and the humerus and radius of dsungaripterids have thinner walls than other bones. The feature of small R/t ratios is plesiomorphic and the thin-walled humerus and radius of dsungaripterids were evolved to meet the need of the flight, not for frequent take-off and landing as previously thought.
