Ceoptera

Ceoptera (meaning "mist wing") is an extinct genus of darwinopteran pterosaur from the Middle Jurassic Kilmaluag Formation of Scotland.

[1][2] The Ceoptera holotype specimen, NHMUK PV R37110, was discovered in 2006 in sediments of the Kilmaluag Formation near Elgol on the Isle of Skye of Scotland, United Kingdom.

[6] In 2024, Martin-Silverstone et al. described Ceoptera evansae as a new genus and species of darwinopteran pterosaur based on these fossil remains.

[3] Martin-Silverstone et al. (2024) recovered Ceoptera as a darwinopteran member of the Monofenestrata, in an unresolved polytomy with similar taxa.
