Re: The Pterosaur Species List - 3rd Edition (Updates!)

[mhanson54@comcast.net (Mike Hanson)]

So, a week after making the list available and it is already being updated.

New genus/species added:
Volgadraco bogolubovi Averianov, Arkhangelsky & Pervushov, 2008

Correction:
Spelling of Beipiaopterus chenianus Lü, 2003 is corrected. I accidentally 
misspelled it as 'Beipaiopterus' in the earliest versions of the list and 
somehow never noticed the error until Rob Taylor pointed it out for me 
yesterday. Unfortunately, it seems the misspelling has already affected other 
lists on the internet, but you heard it here first, anything with the i coming 
after a is wrong and the resuilt of a typo on my part.

Also as a note of caution, the bibliography does include a large number of 
pterosaur related works but it is certainly not a complete set of works on 
pterosaurs, only those most relevant to this nomenclatural list. Additionally, 
there are a large number of works that are completely unrelated to pterosaurs. 
These works generally discuss non-pterosurian taxa that ended up preoccupying a 
pterosaurian junior homonym and they range in topic from tropical passerines, 
to weevils, to benthic flatworms and I referred to them for the notes that 
discuss the taxonomic histories of preoccupied names.
