Original source. Brusina 1902: pl. 6, figs 34-37.
Type horizon. Transdanubian, Pannonian, late Miocene.
Type locality. "Tihany; Kenese" [Tihany; Balatonkenese], Hungary.
Types. Milan et al. (1974: 90) defined a "lectosyntypus", a term not accepted by the Code, based on the specimen from Tihany illustrated by Brusina (1902: pl. 6, figs 34-36). This fixation is insufficient for a valid lectotype designation (Art. 74). The specimen is stored in the Croatian Natural History Museum, Zagreb, coll. no. 2515-161/1-2.
Remarks. Bartha (1955: 294) considered this taxon as a junior synonym of Melanopsis fuchsiHandmann, 1882.
