Remarks.

Replacement name for Melanopsis brevis Doncieux, 1908, non Sowerby, 1826. For that homonym, Pallary (1916) had introduced the replacement name Melanopsis abbreviata , which is a junior homonym of Melanopsis abbreviata Brusina, 1874. (Note that Wenz 1919 was unaware of that name.) Melanopsis doncieuxi Wenz, 1919 is, however, invalid too it is a junior homonym of Melanopsis doncieuxi Pallary, 1916 (see Melanopsis atacica Wenz, 1928).
