Handmann 1882 : 557. Type horizon. Pannonian, zone D, late Miocene. Type locality. "Kottingbrunn [...] Ziegelei a", Austria. Remarks. Papp (1953b) listed this variety together with Melanopsis bouei ventricosa Handmann, 1882 in synonymy of Melanopsis rarispina Loerenthey , 1902, although Handmann's taxa were published earlier. The name ventricosa Handmann is a junior homonym of Melanopsis ventricosa Neumayr, 1880 and thus invalid, but spinosa is available and has priority over rarispina .
