Melanopsis acicularis Ferussac, 1823 View in CoL

Original source.

Férussac 1823: 160.

Type locality.

"La rivière de Laybach. [...] Les eaux thermales de Weslau, près de Vienne. [...] Le Danube, à Wissegrad et à Bude. [...] de l’île de Wight" [Ljubljanica river; in the thermal water of Vöslau near Vienna; in the Danube, at Visegrád and Budapest; from the Isle of Wight], Slovenia.

Remarks.

Partly a junior objective synonym of Melanopsis subulata Sowerby, 1822 (regarding the specimen of the Isle of Wight) and Melanopsis daudebartii [Prevost], 1821 (regarding the Vöslau material), which Férussac considered varieties of Melanopsis acicularis and listed in synonymy. Currently considered as a junior synonym or subspecies of Microcolpia daudebartii [Prevost], 1821, respectively ( Welter-Schultes 2012: 36; Neubauer et al. 2014d).
