Dsungaripteridae is a group of pterosaurs within the suborder Pterodactyloidea.[2] They were robust pterosaurs with good terrestrial abilities and flight honed for inland settings,[3] and were commonly interpreted as durophagous and possibly piscivorous pterosaurs.[4] Fossils have been discovered from Early Cretaceous deposits in Asia, South America and possibly Europe.[5]
