"The genus is based on holotype BSP 1922.I.42 (Bayerische Staatssammlung f\u00FCr Palaeontologie und Geologie), found in the Solnhofen limestone near Eichst\u00E4tt. It consists of a crushed relatively complete skeleton on a slab. The counterslab is missing and with it most of the bones: much of the skeleton is only visible as an impression. 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.[3] According to D\u00F6derlein the reduced tail of Anurognathus was similar to the pygostyle of modern birds.[2] Its more typical \"rhamphorhynchoid\" characters include its elongated fifth toe and short metacarpals and neck.[2] With an estimated wingspan of fifty centimetres (20 inches) and a nine centimetre long body (skull included), its weight was limited: in 2008 Mark Paul Witton estimated a mass of forty grammes for a specimen with a 35 centimetre wingspan.[4] The holotype was redescribed by Peter Wellnhofer in 1975. Later a second, smaller, specimen was found, probably of a subadult individual. Its slab and counterslab are separated and both were sold to private collections; neither has an official registration. It was described by S. Christopher Bennet in 2007. This second exemplar is much more complete and better articulated. It shows impressions of a large part of the flight membrane and under UV-light remains of the muscles of the thigh and arm become visible. It provided new information on many points of the anatomy. The skull was shown to have been very short and broad, wider than long. It transpired that Wellnhofer had incorrectly reconstructed the skull in 1975, mistaking the large eye sockets for the fenestrae antorbitales, skull openings that in most pterosaurs are larger than the orbits but in Anurognathus are small and together with the nostrils placed at the front of the flat snout. The eyes pointed forwards to a degree, providing some binocular vision. Most of the skull consisted of bone struts. The presumed pygostyle was absent; investigating the real nine tail vertebrae instead of impressions showed that they were unfused, though very reduced. The wing finger lacked the fourth phalanx. According to Bennett a membrane, visible near the shin, showed that the wing contacted the ankle and was thus rather short and broad. Bennett also restudied the holotype, interpreting bumps on the jaws as an indication that hairs forming a protruding bristle were present on the snout."@en .

Because a free-flying Anurognathus would have made a quick snack for a much bigger beast, some paleontologists wonder if this diminutive pterosaur nested on the back of large sauropods like Diplodocus. This would have afforded Anurognathus some much-needed protection, and the bugs that constantly hovered around skyscraper-sized dinosaurs would have provided a steady source of food."@en .
