Melanopsis lineolata Gassies, 1857
Original source.
Gassies 1857: 276, pl. 9, figs 9-10.
Type locality.
"La rivière Balade" [in the river Balade], New Caledonia.
Remarks.
Gassies (1861) apparently considered Melania lineolata Gray in Griffith & Pidgeon, 1833 as a Melanopsis , which resulted in secondary homonymy for his species Melanopsis lineoloata Gassies, 1857. Thus, he introduced Melanopsis livida as a replacement name. Secondary homonymy, however, is not given anymore, since Melania lineolata Gray was recently shown to belong to the genus Cerithidea Swainson, 1840 ( Potamididae ) by Reid (2014). (Note, moreover, that Melania lineolata Gray is a junior homonym of Melania lineolata Wood, 1828). Melanopsis livida is a junior objective synonym of Melanopsis lineolata Gassies (see also Art. 59.3). Brot (1879: 444) considered the taxon as a junior synonym of Melanopsis frustulum Morelet, 1857.
