† Melanopsis buccinulum Melleville, 1843
Original source.
Melleville 1843: 95, pl. 4, figs 13-15.
Type horizon.
Thanetian, Paleocene.
Type locality.
“Châlons” [ Châlons-sur-Vesle], France.
Remarks.
Perhaps unaware of Melleville’s publication, Deshayes (1862: 469, pl. 31, figs 11-13) erroneously described this species as new: he marked the name with “Desh.”, provided a Latin diagnosis and did not list any citations. Judging from the illustrations in both works, Deshayes’ species is undoubtedly the same as Melleville’s. Moreover, both were recorded from the same locality ( Châlons-sur-Vesles).
