Original source.

Gassies 1870: 148.

Type locality.

"Prope Kanala; insula Ouen" [near Canala; Île Ouen], New Caledonia.

Remarks.

Junior homonym of Melanopsis fusiformis Sowerby, 1822. Gassies (1880) introduced Melanopsis rossiteri as replacement name. Unaware of this, Pallary (1916) introduced Melanopsis cookiana as replacement name, which is its junior objective synonym.
