Sinonatrix Rossman & Eberle (type species: Tropidonotus annularis Hallowell 1856; syn. Ren, Wang, Guo, Wang, Nguyen & Li 2019) |
Contents:
7 species, of which none are endemic.
Endemism: 0%  100%
Remarks:
The species of this genus were previously included in
Natrix,
then assigned to a separate genus, Sinonatrix (Rossman & Eberle 1977), however, the latter name was subsequently shown to be a synonym of Trimerodytes.
When revalidating Trimerodytes, the authors added another species, balteatus, formerly assigned to
Opisthotropis.
Paratapinophis was previously regarded as a synonym of
Opisthotropis (e.g., Pope 1935; Cox 1991),
but revalidated by Murphy, Chan-ard, Mekchai, Cota & Voris (2008), however, the validity was questioned by Ren, Wang, Guo, Wang, Nguyen & Li (2019).
Most recently, Deepak, Cooper, Poyarkov, Kraus, Burin, Das, Narayanan, Streicher, Smith & Gower (2022) synonymized Paratapinophis with Trimerodytes.

Opisthotropis multicincta Fan (syn. Ren, Wang, Guo, Wang, Nguyen & Li 2019) |
Remarks:
Reassigned to Trimerodytes by Ren, Wang, Guo, Wang, Nguyen & Li (2019).
David, Pauwels, Nguyen & Vogel (2015) treated multicincta as a separate species (of the genus Opisthotropis), but most other authors have regarded it
as a synonym of balteatus (e.g., Smith 1943; Zhao & Adler 1993; Ren, Wang, Guo, Wang, Nguyen & Li 2019).
An isolated record from Cambodia is likely erroneous (Ren, Wang, Guo, Wang, Nguyen & Li 2019).
