Do gliding lizards (genus: Draco) actually grab their extended ribs?

Gliding lizards
of the genus Draco (Figs. 1, 2) come in a wide variety of species. Similar but extinct gliding basal lepidosauriformes, like Icarosaurus (Fig. 2), form a clade that arose in the Late Permian and continued to the Early Cretaceous.

A recent paper
(Dehling 2016) reported, “the patagium is deliberately grasped and controlled by the forelimbs while airborne.” Evidently this ‘membrane-grab’ behavior has not been noted before. I wondered if the rib skin is indeed grasped, or does the forelimb merely fold back against the leading edge of the patagium in a streamlined fashion? Photographs of climbing Draco specimens (Fig. 2) show that the patagium  can fully extend without the aid of the forelimbs to stretch them further forward.

A quick review of prehistoric gliding keuhneosaurs
(Fig. 3) show that the manus unguals are not quite as large and sharp as those of the pes and that the manus in gliding mode extends just beyond the shorter two anterior dermal struts so that the glider -may- have grasped the anterior struts in flight. Or may have rested the manus there. Remember, these are taxa unrelated to the extant Draco, which uses actual ribs to stretch its gliding membrane. The same holds true for the more primitive Coelurosauravus and Mecistotrachelos, which have not been traditionally recognized as basal kuehneosaurs.

* As everyone should know by now…
the so-called transverse processes in kuehneosaurs are the true ribs, only fused to the vertebrae. The ribs remain unfused to the vertebrae in the older and more primitive coelurosauravids. No sister taxa have transverse processes elongate or not.
