†
Melanopsis (Martinia) martiniana var. rugosa Handmann, 1887 [invalid]
Original
source.
Handmann 1887
: 26, pl. 5, figs 5-7.
Type horizon.
Pannonian, zone B-D, late Miocene.
Type locality.
"Leobersdorf"
, Austria.
Types.
It is uncertain whether the single specimen from Wittmannsdorf near Leobersdorf stored in the Geological Survey Austria, Vienna, is really the only specimen left of the original type series (i.e., holotype by monotypy), as was considered by
Fischer (1996b
: 23). The statement by
Fischer (1996b)
did not suffice for a valid lectotype designation.
Remarks.
Junior homonym of
Melanopsis rugosa
Matheron, 1842.
Neubauer et al. (2014c
: 17) introduced
Melanopsis wolfgangfischeri
as replacement name.
