Original source.
Handmann 1882: 558.
Type horizon.
Pannonian, zone D, late Miocene.
Type locality.
"Kottingbrunn [...] Ziegelei a", Austria.
Remarks.
Pallary (1916) considered the species a junior homonym of " Melanopsis affinis Férussac” and introduced Melanopsis subaffinis as replacement name. " Melanopsis affinis Férussac” is, however, not an available name (see below) and Melanopsis subaffinis is thus a junior objective synonym of Melanopsis affinis Handmann, 1882. Wenz (1929: 2674, 2681) synonymized both Handmann’s and Pallary’s species with Melanopsis bouei Férussac, 1823.
