Figure 2 Stereopair and interpretative drawing of NMQR 3255, holotype of Langbergia modisei, in dorsal view. Ept, epipterygoid; L, lacrimal; Mx, maxilla; N, nasal; F, frontal; P, parietal; Pmx, premaxilla; Po, postorbital; Prf, prefrontal; Pro, prootic; Sq, squamosal; tf, trigeminal foramen (for maxillary and mandibular divisions of the trigeminal nerve). Note that bones in the facial region (maxillae, nasals, lacrimals, and prefrontals) are not in their original position. Shading indicates a broken portion (in the jugal) and sediment posteriorly of the postorbital bar. Scale bar = 3 cm.

L. modisei Abdala et al., 2006 (type)
Langbergia is an extinct genus of trirachodontid cynodont from the Early Triassic of South Africa. The type and only species L. modisei was named in 2006 after the farm where the holotype was found, Langberg 566.[1]Langbergia was found in the Burgersdorp Formation in the Beaufort Group, a part of the Cynognathus Assemblage Zone. The closely related trirachodontids Trirachodon and Cricodon were found in the same area.
