Melanopsis cookiana Pallary, 1916 [invalid]

Original source.

Pallary 1916: 82.

Type locality.

"Prope Kanala [...]; insula Ouen" ( Gassies 1870: 148) [near Canala; Île Ouen], New Caledonia.

Remarks.

Replacement name for the junior homonym Melanopsis fusiformis Gassies, 1870, non Sowerby, 1822, for which Gassies (1880) had already introduced Melanopsis rossiteri as replacement name. Thus, Melanopsis cookiana is a junior objective synonym of Melanopsis rossiteri .
