Original source.
Fontannes 1879-1882: 176, pl. 10, fig. 3.
Type horizon.
Miocene or Pliocene.
Type locality.
Rhône Basin (no exact locality given), France.
Remarks.
Based on material from the Rhône Basin, not Italy as claimed by Wenz (1929); probably the taxon was mixed up by Italian authors cited by Wenz (1929). Harzhauser et al. (2015: 9) considered the taxon as a junior synonym of Melanopsis narzolina d’Archiac in Viquesnel, 1846.
