Lonchodectes

''Lonchodectes'' (meaning "lance biter") was a genus of lonchodectid pterosaur from several formations dating to the Turonian (Late Cretaceous, though possibly as early as the Valanginian) of England, mostly in the area around Kent. The species belonging to it had been assigned to ''Ornithocheirus'' until David Unwin's work of the 1990s and 2000s, and the genus is not universally accepted as distinct.〔Kellner, A.W.A. (2003). Pterosaur phylogeny and comments on the evolutionary history of the group: In: Buffetaut, E., and Mazin, J.-M. (Eds.). ''Evolution and Palaeobiology of Pterosaurs''. Geological Society Special Publication 217:105-137. 1-86239-143-2.〕 Several potential species are known; most are based on scrappy remains, and have gone through several other generic assignments. The genus is part of the complex taxonomy issues surrounding Early Cretaceous pterosaurs from Brazil and England, such as ''Amblydectes'', ''Anhanguera'', ''Coloborhynchus'', and ''Ornithocheirus''.
==History and species==

Numerous species have been referred to this genus over time, and only those more widely connected with the genus are included here.
The type species, ''L. compressirostris'', is based on BMNH 39410, a partial upper jaw from the Turonian-age Upper Cretaceous Upper Chalk near Kent. Richard Owen named in 1851 as a species of ''Pterodactylus'';〔Owen, R. (1851). Monograph on the fossil Reptilia of the Cretaceous Formations. ''The Palaeontographical Society'' 5(11):1-118.〕 it was transferred to ''Ornithocheirus'' in 1870 by Harry Govier Seeley,〔Seeley, H.G. (1870). ''The Ornithosauria: an Elementary Study of the Bones of Pterodactyles''. Cambridge, 130 pp.〕 before becoming the type species of ''Lonchodectes'' in Reginald Walter Hooley's 1914 review of ''Ornithocheirus''.〔Hooley, R.W. (1914). On the Ornithosaurian genus ''Ornithocheirus'' with a review of the specimens from the Cambridge Greensand in the Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge. ''Annals and Magazine of Natural History'', series 8, 78:529-557.〕 Confusingly, this species was also long regarded, incorrectly, as the type species of ''Ornithocheirus''.
