: 82.

Remarks.
Replacement name for the alleged junior homonym
Melanopsis affinis
Handmann, 1882, "non
Ferussac
, 1823". The latter name is, however, unavailable
from
Ferussac
(1823)
but was introduced validly by
Pallary (1916)
, who referred to an illustration in
Ferussac
(1823)
(see discussion of
Melanopsis affinis
). This makes
Melanopsis subaffinis
an objective synonym of
Melanopsis affinis
Handmann, 1882 and
Melanopsis affinis
Pallary, 1916 a junior homonym of
Melanopsis affinis
Handmann, 1882.
Melanopsis subaffinis
was considered as a junior synonym of
Melanopsis bouei
by
Wenz (1929
: 2681).
