Discussion. Goniochilus carinatus Pană, 1990 may become a secondary homonym. As Goniochilus Sandberger, 1875 is repeatedly treated as subgenus of Micromelania Brusina, 1874 (e.g., Pavlović 1928; Papp 1953; Bartha & Soós 1955; Marinescu 1973; Schütt & Besenecker 1973; Lueger 1980) this species-group name would be another potential secondary homonym of Micromelania carinata Andrusov, 1890 (see discussion of respective species above). Currently, Goniochilus is treated as separate genus (see Harzhauser et al. 2002).
