Melanopsis (Canthidomus) plicatula Handmann, 1887 [invalid]

Original source.

Handmann 1887: 30, pl. 7, figs 1-3.

Type horizon.

Pannonian, zone B-D, late Miocene.

Type locality.

“Leobersdorf”, Austria.

Remarks.

Originally the gender was indicated as masculine (" plicatulus "), but Melanopsis is feminine, which is why the name must be " plicatula ". Junior homonym of Melanopsis inconstans plicatula Brusina, 1874 (see Note 1). Pallary (1916: 84) introduced Melanopsis similis as replacement name. Wenz (1929: 2674) listed both names in synonymy of Melanopsis bouei Férussac, 1823.
