Notably, Vesperopterylus appears to have a reversed first toe, which would have been suited for gripping; it was likely arboreal, climbing or clinging to tree branches with curved, sharp claws. It also has a relatively short tail, in contrast with its tailless (Jeholopterus) and long-tailed (Dendrorhynchoides) relatives. It was first described and named by Lü Junchang et al. While the original spelling of the name was Versperopterylus, this was a typo, and was emended by the authors in accordance with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.[1] References1. ^{{cite book | last1 = Lü | first1 = J. | last2 = Meng | first2 = Q. | last3 = Wang | first3 = B. | last4 = Liu | first4 = D. | last5 = Shen | first5 = C. | last6 = Zhang | first6 = Y. | chapter = Short note on a new anurognathid pterosaur with evidence of perching behaviour from Jianchang of Liaoning Province, China | doi = 10.1144/SP455.16 | editor-last1 = Hone | editor-first1 = D.W.E. | editor-last2 = Witton | editor-first2 = M.P. | editor-last3 = Martill | editor-first3 = D.M. | title = New Perspectives on Pterosaur Palaeobiology | series = Geological Society, London, Special Publications | publisher = The Geological Society of London | location = London | volume = 455 | chapter-url = http://sp.lyellcollection.org/content/specpubgsl/early/2017/09/08/SP455.16.full.pdf | date = 2017}} 4 : Rhamphorhynchoids|Early Cretaceous pterosaurs of Asia|Fossil taxa described in 2017|Taxa named by Lü Junchang |
