Tapejaridae

(Kellner 1989)

Les Tapejaridae, Tapéjaridés en français, forment une famille fossile de ptérosaures ayant vécu au cours du Crétacé, principalement au Crétacé inférieur. Ils ont d'abord été découverts principalement au Brésil et en Chine. Ensuite, ils ont été retrouvés en Europe, en Hongrie et en Espagne.
