Angustinaripterus was discovered at Dashanpu near Zigong in the Szechuan province of China. It is known from a single skull.
The skull shows large, intermeshing teeth at the tip, and may have been used to snatch fish from the surface of water. The teeth put Angustinaripterus near to Dorygnathus, but some other features of the skull are comparable with those of azhdarchids.
