status

 

Melanopsis ripajensis [sic] Pallary, 1916 [invalid]

Original source.

Pallary 1916: 86.

Type horizon.

Pannonian, zone D-E, late Miocene.

Type locality.

“Ripanj” ( Brusina 1902: captions of pl. 5), Serbia.

Remarks.

Introduced by Pallary (1916) for the alleged junior homonym " Melanopsis paulovici Brusina, 1902", non Bourguignat, 1880. However, Brusina (1902) had named his species " pavlovici ", which makes Melanopsis ripajensis its junior objective synonym. Note that Art. 58.4. (regarding the use of u or v for the same Latin letter) does not apply here, because the names are not based on Latin words but on the names of two different persons.
