Remarks.

Handmann (1887) listed a Melanopsis varicosa nodescens . It is unclear whether he actually introduced a new variety or ranked the species described in 1882 as variety of Melanopsis varicosa Handmann, 1882. Wenz (1929: 2674) considered Melanopsis nodescens Handmann, 1882 as a junior synonym of Melanopsis bouei Férussac, 1823.
