Anurognathus is a genus of small pterosaur that lived approximately 150 million years ago during the late Jurassic Period (Tithonian stage). Anurognathus had a short head with pin-like teeth for catching insects and although it traditionally is ascribed to the long-tailed pterosaur group "Rhamphorhynchoidea", its tail was comparatively short, allowing it more maneuverability for hunting.
