Abstract
The specimens attributed to Pricesaurus megalodon are re-examined in order to determine whether they constitute a distinct taxon of pterodactyloid pterosaur. After careful preparation and study, the material (rostral and middle parts of two probably distinct skulls) revealed affinities with the Anhangueridae, especially with the genus anhanguera Campos & Kellner. The taxon Pricesaurus megalodon is considered here a nomen nudum for lacking distinctive diagnostic features and for being published in noncompliance with the standards of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.
