Maiopatagium

Maiopatagium is an extinct genus of euharamiyids which existed in Asia during the Jurassic period. The type species is Maiopatagium furculiferum, which was described by Zhe-Xi Luo in 2017; it lived in what is now the Liaoning region of China during the late Jurassic (Oxfordian age).[1] Maiopatagium and Vilevolodon, described concurrently, offer clues to the ways various synapsids have taken to the skies over evolutionary time scales.[2]
