The type species is ''Ampelognathus coheni''. Discovery and naming The ''Ampelognathus'' holotype, DMNH 2021-05-02, was found in sediments of the Lewisville Formation of the Woodbine Group (Arlington or Tarrant Member), dated to the Cenomanian age of the Late Cretaceous period, in the Grapevine Lake emergency spillway of Tarrant County in Texas, United States. The specimen consists of a single, nearly-complete left dentary. It was found away from the holotype of the enantiornithean bird ''Flexomornis''. In 2023, Tykoski, Contreras & Noto described ''Ampelognathus coheni'' as a new genus and species of ornithopod dinosaur.
