A nomenclator of extant and fossil taxa of the Melanopsidae (Gastropoda, Cerithioidea) Neubauer, Thomas A. ZooKeys 2016 2016-07-05 602 1 358 F82807BD-6F25-8BEF-598E-B85405931EA7 Wenz, 1919 Wenz 1919 Gastropoda Melanopsidae Melanopsis treatment-meta Animalia Melanopsis tinnyensis Sorbeoconcha 278 279 Mollusca species tinnyensis  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.
