Original source.
Brusina 1866: 106.
Type locality.
"In der Muhr" ( Pfeiffer 1828: 48) [in the river Mur], Austria.
Remarks.
Brusina (1866) introduced the name for "var. A" in Pfeiffer (1828), which that author, however, had affiliated with the name " Melania agnata Ziegler" (see Pfeiffer 1828: 67). Therefore, Melania crassa Brusina, 1866 is a junior objective syno nym of Melania agnata . Moreover, it is a junior homonym of Melania crassa Münster, 1841. Note that the latter species is certainly no Melanopsidae as it derives from the marine deposits of the Triassic St. Cassian Fm.
