 Assigning the "Phobetor" material to "Noripterus" increases the known size of the latter as it indicates a maximum wingspan of 4 metres (13.1 ft).Below is a cladogram showing the phylogenetic placement of "Noripterus" within Neoazhdarchia from Andres and Myers (2013).Dsungaripterids like "Noripterus" are interpreted as adapted for feeding on shellfish or other hard foodstuffs, with long narrow toothless beak tips for probing and picking up suitable prey, and robust teeth farther back for cracking shells.
