Ünal, Mustafa, 2016, Pamphagidae (Orthoptera: Acridoidea) from the Palaearctic Region: taxonomy, classification, keys to genera and a review of the tribe Nocarodeini I. Bolívar, Zootaxa 4206 (1), pp. 1-223 : 108-109

Genus: Paranothrotes Mistshenko, 1951

Mistshenko, 1951: 519. Type species: Paranothrotes tenuicornis Mistshenko, 1951 .

Bey-Bienko & Mistshenko 1951: 290, 343; Bey-Bienko 1957: 1701; Karabağ 1958: 118; Shumakov 1963: 53; Descamps & Donskoff 1965: 500; Avakyan 1968: 88, 93; Weidner 1969: 157, 159; Demirsoy 1973: 406, 414; Demirsoy 1977: 57, 67; Salman 1978: 67; Presa & Garcia 1983: 25; Ihsan & Donskoff 1988: 21, 25; Otte 1994: 185; Mirzayans 1998: 18; Zhang, Yin & Yin 2003: 220; Hodjat 2012: 264, 267.

Nocaropsis Ramme, 1951: 278 , 279, 289 (Type species: Nocarodes gotvendicus I. Bol. ) syn. nov. Nocaropsis Ramme, 1951 : Bey-Bienko 1957: 1701, as syn. of Paranothrotes ; Presa & Garcia 1983: 18; Otte 1994: 175; Yin, Shi & Yin (1996: 440), sensu Eades et al. 2016.

Remarks. Bey-Bienko (1957) considered the genus Nocaropsis Ramme a synonym of Paranothrotes for the first time, but Presa & Garcia (1983: 18), Otte (1994: 175) and Yin, X.-C., J. Shi & Z. Yin (1996, sensu Eades et al. 2016) gave it as valid genus. I propose here again it is a synonym of Paranothrotes .

Otte (1994: 185) listed “ Paranothrotes chinghaiensis Demirsoy ” with the reference of “Ying, 1974”. It is probably a listing mistake. Asulconotus chinghaiensis Ying, 1974 is a Gomphocerinae species from China.
