† Melanopsis croatica Brusina, 1884 View in CoL
Original source.
Brusina 1884a: 168.
Type horizon.
Cernikian, Pliocene.
Type locality.
“Repušnica” ( Neumayr 1869: 372), Croatia.
Types.
Milan et al. (1974: 89) indicated a holotype, but it is uncertain whether the specimen actually derives from the original type series and whether it was the only specimen Brusina had at hand. The specimen is stored in the Croatian Natural History Museum, Zagreb, coll. no. 2988-634.
Remarks.
Introduced for Melania costata sensu Neumayr, 1969, non Olivier, 1804. Wenz (1929) considered all records of " Melania costata " from the Pliocene of Slavonia to represent the same species and synonymized them with Melanopsis abbreviata cosmanni . Obviously, he was unaware that Melanopsis croatica Brusina, 1884 is the first available name for them (see also discussion of Melanopsis pseudocostata Oppenheim, 1890).
