†
Melanopsis parva Pallary, 1916
Original source.
Pallary 1916
: 78.
Type horizon.
Burdigalian, early Miocene (?).
Type locality.
"Dax"
, France.
Remarks.
Pallary (1916
, 1920) erroneously treated "
parva
" as available name attributed to
Ferussac
(1823)
, who solely used the word as descriptive term (Latin
"small"
). The name became nevertheless available from
Pallary (1916)
who associated the name with an illustration in
Ferussac
(1823
: pl. 8, fig. 5).
Cossmann and Peyrot (1918
: 485) considered the taxon as a junior synonym of
Melanopsis subbuccinoides
d'Orbigny
, 1852.
