Remarks.

D’Orbigny (1850) considered this species a Melania and a junior secondary homonym of Melania rugosa Lea, 1842 (which in turn is a replacement name for Melanopsis corrugata Lea, 1841, non Lamarck, 1804). However, the first one was published earlier (August 1842 vs. November/December 1842; for details on publication dates of Matheron’s work see note at the beginning of the Reference section).
