Kiritshenko (1913b) placed Astirocoris intermittens, the type species of Astirocoris, as a junior synonym of Ventocoris cribrosus, a species generally accepted as belonging in the subgenus Selenodera. This effectively made Astirocoris a synonym of Selenodera. Kiritshenko (1964) treated Ventocoris tataricus, the type species of subgenus Paraselenodera, as a member of the subgenus Selenodera, effectively synonymizing the two subgenera.
