Nemicolopterus crypticus was named as a genus of tapejaromorph pterosaur in 2008, based on a very small specimen described as the smallest known "adult" pterosaur to date. The generic name "Nemicolopterus" comes from the following Greek words: "Nemos" meaning "forest", "ikolos" meaning "dweller", and Latinised "pteron" meaning "wing". The specific name crypticus is from "kryptos", meaning "hidden". Thus "Nemicolopterus crypticus" means "Hidden flying forest dweller". It lived in the Jehol Biota 120 million years ago.
