Parapsicephalus (meaning "beside arch head") is a genus of long-tailed rhamphorhynchid pterosaurs from the Lower Jurassic Whitby, Yorkshire, England. It contains a single species, P. purdoni, named initially as a species of the related rhamphorhynchid Scaphognathus in 1888 but moved to its own genus in 1919 on account of a unique combination of characteristics. In particular, the top surface of the skull of Parapsicephalus is convex, which is otherwise only seen in dimorphodontians. This has been the basis of its referral to the Dimorphodontia by some researchers, but it is generally agreed upon that Parapsicephalus probably represents a rhamphorhynchid. Within the Rhamphorhynchidae, Parapsicephalus has been synonymized with the roughly contemporary Dorygnathus; this, however, is not likel

  • Il parapsicefalo (Parapsicephalus purdoni) è un rettile estinto appartenente agli pterosauri. Visse nel Giurassico inferiore (Toarciano, circa 190 milioni di anni fa). I suoi resti fossili sono stati ritrovati in Inghilterra, nei pressi di Whitby (Yorkshire). (it)
  • 雙孔翼龍屬(屬名:Parapsicephalus)是翼龍目喙嘴翼龍科的一屬,化石發現於英格蘭約克夏惠特比的明礬頁岩層,年代為下侏儸紀的早托阿爾階。雙孔翼龍的化石包含一個部份頭顱骨,雖然缺少口鼻部,但有詳細的腦殼部分。儘管如此,雙孔翼龍仍為一所知有限的屬。 雙孔翼龍是的化石在1880年代,由Reverend D.W. Purdon所挖掘;並由E.T. Newton首次敘述,並歸類於掘頜龍的一個種,種名以化石挖掘者為名。數十年後,雙孔翼龍被確認為一個獨立的屬。但在最近的數本大眾書籍中,牠們被當作是矛頜翼龍的一個異名。雙孔翼龍最近被認為是種中等大小的喙嘴翼龍科動物,翼展估計小於1公尺。 (zh)
  • Parapsicephalus (nombre que significa "detrás del arco de la cabeza") fue un género de pterosaurio ranforrincoide de principios del Toarciano (Jurásico Inferior) hallado en el Esquisto Alum de Whitby, Yorkshire, Inglaterra. Es conocido de un cráneo parcial que carece del hocico, pero incluye un detallado molde del cerebro. A pesar de esto, es un género mal conocido. (es)

  • Parapsicephalus purdoni is een pterosauriër die in het vroege Jura leefde in het gebied van het huidige Engeland. In de jaren tachtig van de negentiende eeuw vond dominee D. W. Purdon in de Alum Shale bij Loftus in Yorkshire, in de buurt van Staithes en Whitby, een laag leisteen uit het Toarcien, een stuk schedel van een pterosauriër. Het werd in 1888 door , die het fossiel van de herfst van 1887 af geprepareerd had, benoemd als de soort Scaphognathus purdoni, de soortaanduiding eert de vinder. In 1919 benoemde Gustav von Arthaber een apart geslacht: Parapsicephalus, "dubbel gewelfde kop" in het Klassiek Grieks, een verwijzing naar de preparatie door Newton die ook de hersenpan blootgelegd had. Formeel blijft Scaphognathus purdoni hiervan de typesoort met als nieuwe combinatienaam Parapsic (nl)
