Original source. Wenz 1919a: 73.
Type horizon. Middle Pannonian, late Miocene.
Type locality. "Tinnye"( Loerenthey1902: 214), Hungary.
Remarks. Replacement name for Melanopsis sinzowi Loerenthey, 1902, non Brusina, 1885. Papp (1953b: 145) considered the taxon as a junior synonym of Melanopsis rarispina Loerenthey, 1902. However, Papp (1953b)gave the older names Melanopsis bouei spinosaHandmann, 1882 and Melanopsis bouei ventricosaHandmann, 1882 in synonymy of Melanopsis rarispina. While ventricosaHandmann is a homonym of Melanopsis ventricosaNeumayr, 1880 and thus invalid, the name spinosais available and has priority over rarispina.
