Original source.

Gillet and Marinescu 1971: 55, pl. 22, figs 20-30.

Transdanubian, Pannonian, late Miocene.

Type locality.

“Radmanest” (Fuchs 1870: 353) [Rădmănești], Romania.

Remarks.

Replacement name for the junior homonyms Melanopsis fuchsi Brusina, 1902, non Handmann, 1882 and Melanopsis hungarica Pallary, 1916, non Kormos, 1904, which were in turn introduced for Melania costata sensu Fuchs, 1870, non Olivier, 1804. However, already Strausz (1941) had introduced Melanopsis confusa as replacement name, which makes Melanopsis jekeliusi its junior objective synonym.
