Original source.
Gaudry 1862 - 1867: 407, pl. 62, figs 16-18.
Type horizon.
Late Miocene.
Type locality.
“Daphné”, Greece.
Remarks.
The species epithet is a noun in apposition and needs not to agree in gender with the generic name (Art. 31.2.1). The name " daphne " as mentioned in Neumayr (1869: 369) and Hoernes (1876: 16) is an incorrect subsequent spelling. Wenz (1929: 2772) considered the taxon as a junior synonym of Melanopsis longa Deshayes in Férussac, 1839.
