Original source.

Deshayes 1861 - 1864: 472, pl. 31, figs 25-26.

Type horizon.

Calcaire de Montabuzard, middle-late Burdigalian.

Remarks.

Junior homonym of Melanopsis lamarckii Potiez & Michaud, 1838. Cossmann (1888: 279) and Wenz (1929: 2640) classified the species in the genus Faunus Montfort, 1810 ( Pachychilidae ). The name " lamarcki " as mentioned in Wenz is an incorrect subsequent spelling.
