Frenguellisaurus is presently a junior synonym of Herrerasaurus. See:

Novas, Fernando E. 1993. New information on the systematics and postcranial 
skeleton of Herrerasaurus ischigualastensis (Theropoda: Herrerasauridae) from 
the Ischigualasto Formation (Upper Triassic) of Argentina. Journal of 
Vertebrate Paleontology, Volume 13, Number 4: 400-450.
