Remarks.
Replacement name for the presumed secondary homonym Melanopsis lineolata Gassies, 1856, non Melania lineolata Gray in Griffith & Pidgeon, 1833. Secondary homonymy, however, is not given anymore, since Melania lineolata Gray was recently shown to belong to the genus Cerithidea Swainson, 1840 ( Potamididae ) by Reid (2014) (see also Art. 59.3). (Note, moreover, that Melania lineolata Gray is a junior homonym of Melania lineolata Wood, 1828). Melanopsis livida is a junior objective synonym of Melanopsis lineolata Gassies. Brot (1879: 444) considered the taxon as a junior synonym of Melanopsis frustulum Morelet, 1857.
