Remarks.

Plate 25 of Sandberger’s monograph was issued in 1872, while the description on p. 512 appeared in 1875 ( Woodward 1906). Introduced for Melanopsis buccinoides [sic] sensu Grateloup, 1840, non Olivier, 1801, for which d’Orbigny (1852) had already introduced Melanopsis subbuccinoides as replacement name. Hence, Melanopsis hoernesi is a junior objective synonym of Melanopsis subbuccinoides . Sandberger attributed the authority to Mayer, apparently based on an "in schedis" determination.
