CommentType species: Tropidonotus annularis HALLOWELL 1856 is the type species of the genus Sinonatrix Rossman & Eberle 1977 (in which they included aequifasciata, annularis, bellula, percarinata, and trianguligera). However, Sinonatrix is a junior synonym of Trimerodytes Cope which was resurrected for Trimerodytes balteatus Cope, 1895 (= Opisthotropis balteata) and Sinonatrix by Ren et al. 2019. 
EtymologyNamed after the diminutive form (“annul-”) of Latin “anus” = ring.
