Remarks.
Papp (1953b) listed this variety together with Melanopsis bouei ventricosa Handmann, 1882 in synonymy of Melanopsis rarispina Lörenthey, 1902, although Handmann’s taxa were published earlier. The name ventricosa Handmann is a junior homonym of Melanopsis ventricosa Neumayr, 1880 and thus invalid, but spinosa is available and has priority over rarispina .
