Remarks.

Obviously unaware of the fact that variety names are available in nomenclature as species-group names, Kormos (1903) stated that, if raised to species, he suggests " Melanopsis mucronifera " as name for the taxon. Both names were simultaneously published and are junior objective synonyms. Since carinata sensu Kormos is a junior homonym of Melanopsis carinata Sowerby, 1826, Melanopsis mucronifera is the valid name of the taxon.
