False. Only the misguided and unknowledgable would realize that Pterodactyl is used to refer to Pterodactylus and Pteroanodon is simply another species within the genus of Pterosaurs. It might make more sense to say it is a Pteranodon, but we shall use Pterodactyl since that is the official name.

Let me put it to you in simpler terms. If Popcap decided to make an Elephant Zombie but decided to name it "Lion Zombie", we would be referring to it as "Lion Zombie" despite the fact that all signs point to it being an elephant.
