(Tropeognathus robustus = keel jaw) Tropeognathus has a crest above and below its long toothy snout. Kellner & Campos (1989) regarded this genus as a junior synonym of Anhanguera. Wellnhofer (1991), however, retained it as a distinct genus, although he (pers. comm. at 1989 SVP annual meeting) previously regarded this genus as a possible junior synonym of Araripedactylus.
