Portrait of the rhamphorynchid pterosaur Angustinaripterus longicephalus from the Middle Jurassic of Sichuan Province (China). This taxon is known from a single skull without a nape and the tips of the jaws. The length of the skull, according to paleontologist Peter Wellnhofer, reached 16.5 cm. The muzzle is long and straight, the front teeth are very large and form a fish trap with the mouth closed. The nostrils are elongated and slit-shaped, which is reflected in the generic name (the first part of it comes from the Latin words "angustus" and "naris", meaning, respectively, "narrow" and "nostrils"). The closest relative of Angustinarypterus is considered to be Sericipterus wucaivanensis from the Late Jurassic of Xinjiang. In this reconstruction, I depicted the pointed tip of the lower jaw, characteristic of rhamphorhynchids (especially the famous Rhamphorhynchus).

Sericipterus is another Rhamphorhynchid, from the Shishugou Formation in Xinjiang, China. It is known from a crushed specimen, and lived about 160 million years ago, in the Oxfordian age of the Late Jurassic. It had a wingspan of 1.73 meters and it had a bony crest on it’s snout. It’s first teeth were straight but the rest were curved somewhat, indicating that it had a specific diet and possible niche partitioning with other pterosaurs in the region.
