Remarks.

Junior homonym of Melanopsis sinzowi Brusina, 1885. Wenz (1919a: 73) introduced Melanopsis tinnyensis as replacement name. Papp (1953b: 145) considered the taxon as a junior synonym of Melanopsis rarispina Lörenthey, 1902. However, Papp (1953b) gave the older names Melanopsis bouei spinosa Handmann, 1882 and Melanopsis bouei ventricosa Handmann, 1882 in synonymy of Melanopsis rarispina . While ventricosa Handmann is a junior homonym of Melanopsis ventricosa Neumayr, 1880 and thus invalid, the name spinosa is available and has priority over rarispina .
