Group of rhamphorhynchine pterosaurs sharing a low and elongate skull (height-to-length ratio <0.2); large antorbital fenestra (20%–35% skull length and>80% orbit dorsoventral height); lacrimal process of jugal nearly perpendicularly inclined (90 ǫ – 110 ǫ) to jugal body; strongly inclined quadrate (130 ǫ –140 ǫ relative to maxilla long axis); cervical vertebrae with considerable change in length-to-width ratio across the neck (1.8 to 1.2, from anterior to posterior); humeral diaphysis slender with muscle scar tubercle.
