† Melanopsis subtuberculata Pallary, 1916
Original source.
Pallary 1916: 78.
Type horizon.
Late Villafranchian, Pleistocene.
Type locality.
“D’Italie” ( Férussac 1823 had given the locality more precisely as "entre St.-Germini et Carsoli, et entre Otricoli et le Vigne" [between San Gemini and Carsoli, and between Otricoli and Le Vigne, Italy]).
Remarks.
The name " Melanopsis subtuberculata Férussac” has been used as valid name by several authors (e.g., Wenz 1929: 2839), but was obviously not intended as species-group name by Férussac (1823). Esu and Girotti (1975: 251) considered the taxon as a junior synonym of " Melanopsis affinis Férussac, 1823", which is not available either. The name subtuberculata became nevertheless available from Pallary (1916) who treated it as valid species-group name and associated it with an illustration in Férussac (1823: pl. 7, fig. 11). See introduction for detailed discussion about the names used by Férussac (1823).
