Banguela is a genus of azhdarchoid pterosaur from the Early Cretaceous period (Albian stage) of what is now Brazil.

[1] The Swiss collector Urs Oberli acquired a pterosaur jaw fragment from the Chapada do Araripe.

The generic name is a Brazilian Portuguese word for "toothless one", especially used as an affectionate term for elderly women.

The symphysis, with a preserved length of 273 millimeters (10.7 in), curves upwards and has a relatively short depression at its upper rear end.

[5][6][7] In 2018, a study suggested that Banguela was a species of Thalassodromeus (T. oberlii), and thus it is assigned to the Thalassodrominae, a subfamily within the clade Tapejaridae.
