Pallary 1916 : 78. Type horizon. Late Villafranchian, Pleistocene. Type locality. "D'Italie" ( Ferussac 1823 had given the locality more precisely as "entre St.-Germini et Carsoli, et entre Otricoli et le Vigne" [between San Gemini and Carsoli, and between Otricoli and Le Vigne, Italy]). Remarks. The name " Melanopsis subtuberculata Ferussac" has been used as valid name by several authors (e.g., Wenz 1929 : 2839), but was obviously not intended as species-group name by Ferussac (1823) . Esu and Girotti (1975 : 251) considered the taxon as a junior synonym of " Melanopsis affinis Ferussac , 1823", which is not available either. The name subtuberculata became nevertheless available from Pallary (1916) who treated it as valid species-group name and associated it with an illustration in Ferussac (1823 : pl. 7, fig. 11). See introduction for detailed discussion about the names used by Ferussac (1823) .
