Vesperopterylus (meaning "dusk wing") is a genus of anurognathid pterosaur from the Early Cretaceous Jiufotang Formation of China, the geologically youngest member of its group. Notably, Vesperopterylus appears to have a reversed first toe, which would have been suited for gripping; it was likely arboreal, climbing or clinging to tree branches with curved, sharp claws. It also has a relatively short tail, in contrast with its tailless (Jeholopterus) and long-tailed (Dendrorhynchoides) relatives. It was first described and named by Lü Junchang et al. While the original spelling of the name was Versperopterylus, this was a typo, and was emended by the authors in accordance with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.

  • Vesperopterylus ("křídlo soumraku") byl rod malého pterosaura z čeledi Anurognathidae, žijícího zhruba před 122 miliony let (spodní křída) na území severovýchodní Číny (provincie Liao-ning). Mezi jeho příbuzné patřily rody Batrachognathus a Anurognathus. (cs)
  • Vesperopterylus es un género extinto de pterosaurio anurognátido que vivió durante el Cretácico Inferior en China, siendo el miembro geológicamente más reciente del grupo. Es notorio que Vesperopterylus parece tener un quinto dedo del pie vuelto hacia atrás, el cual puede haber estado adaptado para aferrarse; probablemente era arborícola, trepando o sujetándose de las ramas de los árboles con sus garras afiladas y curvas. Tenía además una cola relativamente corta, en contraste con sus parientes que carecían de cola (Jeholopterus) o tenían cola larga (Dendrorhynchoides). Aunque su nombre fue escrito originalmente como Versperopterylus, este fue un error de escritura, y fue corregido por los autores de acuerdo con el Código Internacional de Nomenclatura Zoológica.​ (es)

  • Versperopterylus (il cui nome significa "ala del crepuscolo") è un genere estinto di pterosauro anurognathide vissuto nel Cretaceo inferiore, circa 122.1 milioni di anni fa (Aptiano), nell'attuale Cina, rendendolo il membro geologicamente più recente del suo gruppo. Il genere contiene una singola specie, ossia V. lamadongensis, basata su di un singolo esemplare quasi completo e articolato. Il nome Versperopterylus deriva dalla parola latina vesper che significa crepuscolo e la parola in greco antico pteron che significa ala. La pubblicazione incorre però in un errore, traducendo "vesper" come "versper" nel nome generico e nell'etimologia. Il nome specifico, lamadongensis, si riferisce invece a Lamadong, dove è stato ritrovato il fossile. (it)
