Melanopsis letourneuxi Bourguignat, 1884
Original source.
Bourguignat 1884
: 116.
Type locality.
"Dans la source et la
riviere
de la Moulouiah,
a
l'ouest
de Lalla-Maghnia" [in the source and the river Moulouya, west of Maghnia], Morocco or Algeria.
Remarks.
Bourguignat denoted the authority as "Bourguignat, 1872, et Letourneux", apparently referring to
Letourneux (1876b)
. That work is not available to me, but after
Crosse (1877
: 33) that record is a nomen nudum. It appears also as nomen nudum in
Letourneux (1876a
: 48). In addition, Bourguignat listed "Bourguignat. Spec. nov. Moll., no. 198, 1878", which displays the second part of "Species novissimae Molluscorum" (
Bourguignat 1876
), but which was never published.
