Melanopsis armata Matheron, 1842
Original source.
Matheron 1842
: 294, pl. 37, figs 12-14.
Type horizon.
Calcaire de Rognac, Maastrichtian, Cretaceous.
Type locality.
"Rognac et St. Victoret", France.
Remarks.
The name "
arcuata
" as mentioned in
Pallary (1925
: 257) is an incorrect subsequent spelling. Based on this error,
Pallary (1925)
considered
Melanopsis arcuata
Brusina, 1897 a junior homonym and introduced the replacement name
Melanopsis simulata
(junior objective synonym).
Sandberger (1871
: 101) attributed the species to the genus
Paludomus
Swainson, 1840 (
Paludomidae
). After
Calzada and Urquiola (1994
: 152) this species belongs in the genus
Cosinia
Stache, 1880 (
Paludomidae
).
