Melanopsis brevis Parreyss in Mousson, 1854
[invalid]
Original source.
Mousson 1854
: 51.
Type locality.
"Dans les eaux de
l'ancien
Leonthes"
[in the Litani river], Lebanon.
Remarks.
Junior homonym of
Melanopsis brevis
Sowerby, 1826.
Blanckenhorn (1897)
introduced
Melanopsis maroccana media
as replacement name (see also
Melanopsis moussoni
Pallary, 1916). The authority is clear from the discussion provided in
Mousson (1854)
; in fact, Mousson even seemed to doubt the specific separation of this taxon from other melanopsids.
