Remarks.

Unlike stated by Neubauer et al. (2016b: 25), the name Melanopsis lyrata Neumayr, 1869 [June] is deemed to be a junior homonym of Melanopsis lirata Gassies, 1869 [January] after Art. 58.2. Pallary (1916: 85) introduced Melanopsis dissimilis as replacement name. Wenz (1929: 2698) was aware of the homonymy issue and synonymized this species with Melanopsis cylindracea Brusina, 1874.
