Ebyewuunyisa
Barbosania had no crest on its snout or head, which is unusual for its group.1
It had 13 back vertebrae, while most related pterosaurs had 12.1
Its skull was about 392 millimetres (15.4 inches) long, and its body was about 209.5 millimetres (8.2 inches) long.1
The first four pairs of teeth were very long, forming a basket-like trap for slippery prey.1
It had at least 24 teeth in the upper jaw and 20 in the lower jaw, for a total of 88 teeth.1
The fossil was probably from a subadult, but some bones were fused, which is confusing.1
