Remarks.
Obviously unaware of the fact that variety names are available in nomenclature as species-group names, Kormos (1903) stated in the description of his new variety Melanopsis sikorai carinata that, if raised to species, he suggests " Melanopsis mucronifera " as name for the taxon. Both names were simultaneously published and are objective synonyms. Since Melanopsis carinata Kormos is a junior homonym of Melanopsis carinata Sowerby, 1826, Melanopsis mucronifera is the valid name of the taxon. Neubauer et al. (2014d) considered the taxon as a junior synonym of Microcolpia parreyssii sikorai (Brusina, 1903).
