Fischer in Gaudry, 1867 Original source. Gaudry 1862 - 1867 : 407, pl. 62, figs 16-18. Type horizon. Late Miocene. Type locality. "Daphne" , Greece. Remarks. The species epithet is a noun in apposition and needs not to agree in gender with the generic name (Art. 31.2.1). The name " daphne " as mentioned in Neumayr (1869 : 369) and Hoernes (1876 : 16) is an incorrect subsequent spelling. Wenz (1929 : 2772) considered the taxon as a junior synonym of Melanopsis longa Deshayes in Ferussac , 1839.
