Type locality.
"Rognac et St. Victoret", France.
Remarks.
The name " arcuata " as mentioned in Pallary (1925: 257) is an incorrect subsequent spelling. Based on this error, Pallary (1925) considered Melanopsis arcuata Brusina, 1897 a junior homonym and introduced the replacement name Melanopsis simulata (junior objective synonym). Sandberger (1871: 101) attributed the species to the genus Paludomus Swainson, 1840 ( Paludomidae ). After Calzada and Urquiola (1994: 152) this species belongs in the genus Cosinia Stache, 1880 ( Paludomidae ).
