Melanopsis narzolina
d'Archiac
in Viquesnel, 1846
Original source.
Viquesnel 1846
: 266.
Type horizon.
Late Miocene.
Type locality.
"Piemont"
[no locality indicated], Italy.
Remarks.
The name was based on
Bonelli's
unpublished catalogue, but was first described in
Viquesnel (1846)
as "
M.
[
elanopsis
]
narsolina
" [sic]. However, the name
Melanopsis narzolina
- probably the
"correct"
spelling sensu Bonelli - has been in prevailing usage since then. For reasons of stability the name
narzolina
should be maintained according to Art. 33.3.1 (see
Harzhauser et al. 2015
: 10).
