Melanopsis turgida Brot, 1878 [invalid]

Original source.

Brot 1874 - 1879: 373, pl. 38, fig. 5c.

Type locality.

"Glina Fluss in Ungarn" [Glina river], Croatia.

Remarks.

Described and illustrated in synonymy of " Hemisinus Esperi " [now in Esperiana ], based on a manuscript name by Parreyss. Clessin (1890) treated it as valid name and made it available thereby (see Note 2). Junior homonym of Melanopsis turgida Fischer-de-Waldheim, 1837. Starobogatov et al. (1992: 60) considered the species as a junior synonym of Fagotia [= Esperiana ] esperi ( Férussac, 1823).
