Melania crassa Brusina, 1866 [invalid]

Original source.

Brusina 1866: 106.

Type locality.

"In der Muhr" ( Pfeiffer 1828: 48) [in the river Mur], Austria.

Remarks.

Brusina (1866) introduced the name for "var. A" in Pfeiffer (1828), which that author, however, had affiliated with the name " Melania agnata Ziegler" (see Pfeiffer 1828: 67). Therefore, Melania crassa Brusina, 1866 is a junior objective syno nym of Melania agnata . Moreover, it is a junior homonym of Melania crassa Münster, 1841. Note that the latter species is certainly no Melanopsidae as it derives from the marine deposits of the Triassic St. Cassian Fm.
