This paper recognizes Paramachaerodus orientalis, and Pa. maximiliani, and elevates Pa. orygia to Promegantereon ogygia

Could someone please find a source for P. transasiaticus? It is only mentioned in the infobox, with no source given. Moreover, it is not mentioned in any of the first three refs for the article, nor in Big Cats and their fossil relatives.--SilverTiger12 (talk) 23:19, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It appears to be described in this article: A new species of Paramachaerodus (Mammalia, Carnivora, Felidae) from the late Miocene of China and Bulgaria, and revision of Promegantereon Kretzoi, 1938 and Paramachaerodus Pilgrim, 1913. [1]Jts1882 | talk16:34, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, Paramachairodus is the proper name as proposed by the original authors, Paramachaerodus is a misspelling. The fact that it's been used recently does not justify a page move. SilverTiger12 (talk) 22:26, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. This seems to be one of those messy situations where the rules of the zoological code conflict with common sense. It was named by Pilgrim 1913 and he used Paramachaerodus according to the sources I could find (I couldn't find the original work, though). Given the new genus name was based on Machairodus and its placement in Machairodontinae, common sense would say it should be Paramachairodus. Whether this is a mistake by Pilgrim or a deliberate difference (perhaps he favoured Machaerodontinae), the ICZN rules give priority to the name used to describe the genus, not the subsequent "correction" (by Zdansky?). All the recent scientific works I looked at use Paramachaerodus, as do the Wikidata resources (fossilworks, etc). — Jts1882 | talk09:05, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
