The majority of the teethed pterosaurs from the Araripe Basin in Brazil (Santana and Crato Formations) have premaxillary sagittal crests and dentary sagittal crests. A few skulls, however, lack such crests and ever since these fossils have been published, discussion continues whether these are independent taxa, ontogenetic variants or sexual dimorphics of other taxa. The present work presents an update, discussing the dentition and other morphological features, previously unnoticed, in order to evaluate the systematic position of the taxon.
