Anurognathids were a group of small pterosaurs, mostly tailess, that lived worldwide during the Jurassic Period. Some examples are Anurognathus and Batrachognathus. They do have some characteristics in common with the suborder Pterodactyloidea, such as the short and fused tail bones, and may be closely related if not even ancestral to it.
