Type species. Pterodactylus giganteus Bowerbank, 1846 .

Diagnosis. Differs from Lonchodectes Hooley, 1914 and Ikrandraco Wang et al., 2014 by premaxillary crest present, spacing between alveoli roughly equivalent to their diameters, approximately six alveoli per 3 cm of alveolar margin, and teeth set in raised alveoli separated by a C-shaped depression. Additionally differs from Ikrandraco avatar Wang et al., 2014 by anterior end of mandible dorsoventrally flattened, from I. machaerorhynchus ( Seeley, 1870) by slightly diverging alveolar margins.

Included species. Type species and, tentatively, Lonchodraco (?) sp.
