"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, but they were not closely related.
