status

 

Melanopsis praemorsa var. obesa Gassies, 1856 View in CoL

Original source.

Gassies 1856: 12, figs 11-12.

Type locality.

"Dans l’Oued-Lisser, sur la route de Sidi-bel-Abess, à Tlemcen" [in the Oued Lisser (?), on the road to Sidi Bel Abbès, at Tlemcen], Algeria.

Remarks.

Bourguignat (1884) attributed the authority to himself, but even listed Gassies’ record in synonymy. Apparently, he did not consider a variety as a valid name that can result in homonymy (see also the introduction).
