The Pteripotanes or Pterippotanes are winged ipotane creatures. They are usually depicted as being with an upper body of a human and the lower half, wings, and a tail of a pterippus/pegasi or in modern now, Pegasus. These creatures are much different from the pterocentaur. Although sometimes attributed to Greek mythology, the term appears to have originated at a much later date, and without a definite description.
The word "ipotane" appears to be derived from the Greek ιππότης (hippotes), "a knight" + πτερόν (pterón “wing”), which itself is derived from ίππος (hippos), "a horse". The description is not clearly distinguishable from that of a hippocentaur, and some depictions use the term synonymously. In modern depictions show ipotanes with a human body with wings on their back and a horse's head. Other depictions have them as humans with the hindquarters of a horse.
