Melanopsis costata var. hoernesi Blanckenhorn, 1897
[invalid]
Original source.
Blanckenhorn 1897
: 130, pl. 10, figs 9-10.
Type horizon.
Pleistocene (?)-Recent.
Type locality.
"Fossil [..] bei Antakije. Lebend am unteren Orontes [...], desgleichen im Kara Su, einem
noerdlichen
Zufluss des Sees von Antiochia und im
Sadjuer
Su bei Aleppo" [as fossil near Antakya (Turkey). Alive in the lower Orontes (Turkey/Syria), as well as in the Karasu, a northern tributary of the Lake Anuk (Turkey), and in the
Sajūr
river near Aleppo (Syria)].
Remarks.
Junior homonym of
Melanopsis hoernesi
Sandberger, 1872 (note that latter is a junior objective synonym of
Melanopsis subbuccinoides
and thus invalid).
Heller et al. (2005
: 244) considered the species as a junior synonym of
Melanopsis costata
(Olivier, 1804).
