Remarks.
Introduced for Melanopsis praerosa [= Melanopsis praemorsa ] sensu Ludwig, 1865, non Linnaeus, 1758. It was regarded a junior synonym by Wenz (1929: 2740) because Sandberger (1873: 315) had already introduced Melanopsis hassiaca as replacement name for misidentified Melanopsis praemorsa from that region and time period. Since Sandberger did not explicitly refer to Ludwig’s material, pyramidalis and hassiaca are not objective synonyms.
