Treatment

Melanopsis anistratenkoi View in CoL nom. nov.

Melanopsis (Duabiana) cylindrica Anistratenko 1993: 69 View in CoL [non Lyrcea cylindrica Stoliczka, 1862 View in CoL ].

Etymology. In honor of Vitaliy V. Anistratenko (Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology of the Ukrainian National Academy, Kiev), who greatly contributed to our knowledge about the fossil and recent mollusk fauna from eastern Europe.

Type locality. Mok'vi monastery by the Duab River, Abkhazia, Georgia.

Age. Duab beds, Kimmerian (= middle-late Zanclean).

Holotype. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kiev, coll. no. 22/VI 1989.

Discussion. The species by Anistratenko constitutes a secondary homonym of Melanopsis cylindrica ( Stoliczka, 1862) . The latter species was introduced within Lyrcaea (misspelt " Lyrcea " by Stoliczka), which is considered a junior synonym of Melanopsis (Wenz 1929, p. 2647) . Today it is undoubtedly referred to Melanopsis .
