Pterippus merely means winged horse, although only one is well attested in mythology - Pegasus.
A pterippus is what most people call a Pegasus, although Pegasus is the name for the specific pterippus that sprang from the blood of Medusa when Perseus (grandfather of Heracles/Hercules) beheaded her and was later tamed by Belleraphon.
Therefore Pterippus refers to a species of mythical horse, but is not the name of a specific one.
