Jekelius 1944 : 139, pl. 58, figs 11-12. Type horizon. Early Pannonian, late Miocene. Type locality. "Turislav-Tal bei Soceni" [Turislav valley near Soceni], Romania. Remarks. Junior secondary homonym of Melanopsis banatica Jekelius, 1944 (same work). Neubauer et al. (2014a : 462) considered both synonymous and gave priority to Melanopsis banatica (since Melanoptychia is considered as a synonym of Melanopsis ).
