Reconstructions of longipterygid skulls. Reconstructions are of Longipteryx morphotypes with large teeth (A) and small teeth (B), Longirostravis (C), Rapaxavis (D), and Shanweiniao (E). Colours of different bones indicate which specimen that bone is based on. All sclerotic rings are based on BMNHC Ph-930B. Quadratojugal morphology is unknown in any taxon so is drawn in a dotted line. See the “Methods” section for more details on reconstruction. Scale bars are based on DNHM-D2889 (A), IVPP V12552 (B), IVPP V11309 (C), DNHM D2522 (D), and DNHM D1878/2 (E)
