Anhangueria

Belongs within: Pterodactyloidea.

The Anhangueria are a clade of pterosaurs including all species more closely related to Anhanguera blittersdorffi than Istiodactylus latidens or Cimoliopterus cuvieri. Its members are united by an anterior expansion of the premaxillary tip with the jaw end tall, and larger teeth at the tip of the rostrum (Rodrigues & Kellner 2013).
