| rdfs:comment | - The genus was named in 1969 by José Bonaparte as an as yet undescribed nomen nudum. The first description followed in 1970, making the name valid, the type species being Pterodaustro guiñazui.[1] The genus name is derived from Greek pteron, "wing" and Latin auster, "south (wind)". The elements are combined as a condensed pteron de austro, "wing from the south". The specific name honours paleontologist Román Guiñazú. It was emended in 1978 by Peter Wellnhofer into guinazui, because diacritical signs such as the tilde are not allowed in species names.
- Pterodaustro was a pterosaur, famous for its feeding style, similar to that of the modern whales and flamingos. It appears in Wonderbook: Walking with Dinosaurs.
- Pterodaustro had an adult wingspan of approximately 250 centimetres (8.20 ft).[4] Its hindlimbs are rather robust and its feet large. Its tail is uniquely elongated for a pterodactyloid, containing 22 caudal vertebrae, whereas other members of this group have at most sixteen.
