Melanopsis tumida Pallary, 1916
Original source.
Pallary 1916: 86.
Type locality.
Stated to be uncertain by Philippi (1887, p. 40): "vermutlich bei Lebu oder Tubul gefunden" [probably found near Lebu or Tubul, Región del Biobío], Chile.
Remarks.
Pallary (1916) introduced this replacement for the presumed secondary homonym Melanopsis obesa (Philippi, 1887), non Gassies, 1856. Despite a valid nomenclatural act, the name is hardly useful because Philippi’s species is certainly no Melanopsidae .
