status

[invalid]

Melanopsis pedemontana subcallosa Wenz, 1928 View in CoL [invalid]

Original source.

Wenz 1928b: 220.

Type horizon.

Late Burdigalian, early Miocene.

Type locality.

"Colle torinesi" ( Sacco 1889: 68) [Torino hills], Italy.

Remarks.

Invalid replacement name for the homonym Melanopsis taurinensis Sacco, 1889, non Melanopsis clava taurinensis Sacco, 1889 (same work). According to Art. 24.1 and 57.7 the name proposed at higher rank takes precedence. This makes subcallosa an objective synonym of Melanopsis taurinensis Sacco, 1889, while the subspecies Melanopsis clava taurinensis Sacco, 1889 is still in need of a substitute name.
