† Melanopsis dufresnii Deshayes, 1825
Original source.
Deshayes 1824 - 1837: 120, pl. 12, figs 3-4.
Type horizon.
Sparnacian, early Ypresian, Eocene.
Type locality.
"Les environs de Soissons" [surroundings of Soisson], France.
Remarks.
Cossmann (1888: 280) classified the species in the genus Faunus Montfort, 1810, Wenz (1929: 2623) affiliated it with Melanatria Bowdich, 1822 (both Pachychilidae ). Note that both authors gave the name as " dufresnei ", which is an incorrect subsequent spelling. Moreover, Melanatria Bowdich, 1822 [February] is not an available name because it is a replacement name for the vernacular "Pyrene Lamarck" which was not available in nomenclature before April 1822.
