Melanopsis incerta
Ferussac
, 1822
Original source.
Ferussac
1819-1851
:
Melanopsides
fossiles, pl. 1 (1822), fig. 12.
Type horizon.
Sarmatian (sensu lato), middle-late Miocene.
Type locality.
"De Sestos" [Sestos, prov.
Canakkale
], Turkey.
Remarks.
The species was also illustrated on pl. 2 of the
"Melanopsides
fossiles" in the "Histoire naturelle" (
Ferussac
1819-1851
) and on pl. 8 in
Ferussac
(1823)
. However,
Ferussac
obviously mixed up
Melanopsis incerta
with
Melanopsis daudebartii
and erroneously illustrated the latter of both species, which was already recognized by Deshayes when preparing the final explanations for the plates of the "Histoire naturelle".
