Xericeps

Xericeps is an extinct genus of alanqidpterosaur from the Cenomanian stage of the Late Cretaceous. It was discovered from the Kem Kem Beds of southeastern Morocco.

The name Xericeps comes from the Ancient Greek: ξερός - meaning dry, referencing the Sahara Desert, in which the pterosaur was first found, and the Latin: cep from capere, meaning "to catch" - alluding to the creature's forceps-like beak.
