Original source.

"Martigues"

Matheron 1842

Remarks.
D'Orbigny
(1850)
considered
Melanopsis rugosa
Matheron, 1842 a
Melania
and the species name a secondary homonym of
Melania rugosa
Lea, 1842. However,
Matheron's
species was published earlier (August 1842 vs. November/December 1842; for details on publication dates of
Matheron's
work see note at the beginning of the Reference section).
Melania subrugosa
is thus a junior objective synonym of
Melanopsis rugosa
Matheron, 1842.
