Argentinadraco (meaning "Argentina dragon") is an extinct genus of azhdarchoid pterosaur from the Late Cretaceous Portezuelo Formation of Argentina. It contains a single species, A. barrealensis, named in 2017 by Alexander Kellner and Jorge Calvo. Argentinadraco is unusual for bearing a bottom jaw with a concave bottom edge, as well as a pair of ridges and depressions on the top surface. These features distinguish it from all other azhdarchoid groups, complicating its assignment, but it may belong to the Chaoyangopteridae. The ridges on the lower jaw may have been used to feed on small invertebrates in loose sediment within the system of lakes and rivers that it resided in.

  • Argentinadraco (nombre que significa "dragón de Argentina") es un género extinto de pterosaurio azdarcoideo que vivió durante el Cretácico Superior en lo que hoy es Argentina. Solo abarca a una especie, A. barrealensis, nombrada en 2017 por Alexander Kellner y Jorge Calvo. Argentinadraco es inusual por poseer una mandíbula cuya parte inferior posee un borde cóncavo, así como un par de crestas y depresiones en su superficie superior. Estos rasgos lo distinguen de todos los demás grupos de azdarcoideos, complicando su clasificación, aunque bien podría pertenecer a la familia Azhdarchidae. Las crestas de la mandíbula pueden haber sido usadas para alimentarse de pequeños invertebrados en sedimentos blandos dentro del sistema de lagos y ríos en los que residía. (es)
  • Argentinadraco barrealensis is een pterosauriër, behorend tot de Pterodactyloidea, die tijdens het late Krijt leefde in het gebied van het huidige Argentinië. (nl)
  • Argentinadraco (лат.) — род птерозавров из надсемейства Azhdarchoidea, окаменелые остатки которых были обнаружены в верхнемеловых отложениях Аргентины. В род включают единственный вид Argentinadraco barrealensis, описанный в 2017 году и Хорхе Кальво. Этот птерозавр необычен наличием нижней челюсти с вогнутым нижним краем, а также с парой выступов и впадин на верхней поверхности. Эти особенности отличают его от всех других входящих в подсемейство групп, затрудняя его систематику. Выступы на нижней челюсти, возможно, использовались для питания мелкими беспозвоночными, которых этот птерозавр доставал из рыхлого осадка озёр и рек, возле которых он обитал. (ru)
  • Argentinadraco (il cui nome significa "drago dell'Argentina") è un genere estinto di pterosauro azhdarchoideo vissuto nel Cretacico superiore, circa 90 milioni di anni fa (Turoniano-Coniaciano), in quella che oggi è la Formazione Portezuelo, nella Provincia di Neuquén, Argentina. Il genere contiene una singola specie, ossia A. barrealensis, descritta da Alexander Kellner e Jorge Calvo basandosi su una singola mandibola frammentaria. (it)
