Preondactylus is a genus of long-tailed pterosaurs from the Late Triassic (late Norian)[1] that inhabited what is now Italy. It contains a single known species, Preondactylus buffarinii, which was discovered by Nando Buffarini in 1982 at the Forni Dolostone near Udine in the Preone valley of the Italian Alps.[2]
