The illustrated syntypes are stored in the Croatian Natural History Museum, Zagreb, coll. no. 2495-141/1-3 (Milan et al. 1974: 95).

Remarks.

Appeared first as a nomen nudum in Brusina (1893). Not a homonym of Melanopsis paulovici [sic] as considered by Pallary (1916), who invalidly introduced Melanopsis ripajensis as replacement name. Note that Art. 58.4. (regarding the use of u or v for the same Latin letter) does not apply here, because the names are not based on Latin words but on the names of two different persons.
