Melanopsis belusi Bourguignat, 1884
Original source.
Bourguignat 1884: 134.
Type locality.
"Du Bélus, près de Saint-Jean-d’Acre (Syrie)" [in the Na’aman river, near Acre], Israel.
Remarks.
Bourguignat (1884) denoted the authority as "Letourneux, 1882", but there is no evidence that the description really derived from that author. Heller et al. (2002: 596) considered the species as a junior synonym of Melanopsis costata (Olivier, 1804). Heller et al. (2005: 244) in turn treated it as a junior synonym of Melanopsis lampra Bourguignat, 1884.
