Novialoidea

Cast of Rhamphorhynchus muensteri in the Musée d'Histoire Naturelle, Brussels, copyright M0tty.

Belongs within: Pterosauria.
Contains: Pterodactyloidea.

The Novialoidea are a clade of pterosaurs defined by Kellner (2003) as the most exclusive clade containing Campylognathoides and Quetzalcoatlus. Members of this clade have the third phalanx of the wing finger shorter than the first and second phalanges (Kellner 2003).
