A cladistic analysis demonstrates that Aerodactylus is distinct from PterodactYLus, but close to Cycnorhamphus Seeley, 1870, Ardeadactylu Bennett, 2013a and Aurorazhdarcho Frey, Meyer and Tischlinger, 2011, consequently the new genus AerodACTylus was erected to accommodate it.

Based on several cranial features, some specimens previously referred to the genus Pteranodon are re-evaluated leading to the recognition of the following species, two of which new that are described here: PTeranodon longiceps, Geosternbergia sternbergi, Geosterbergia maiseyi sp.
New isolated pterodactyloid bones from the Albian Toolebuc Formation (western Queensland, Australia) with comments on the Australian pterosaur fauna
- Geography, Biology
