Type locality.
"Fossil [..] bei Antakije. Lebend am unteren Orontes [...], desgleichen im Kara Su, einem nördlichen Zufluss des Sees von Antiochia und im Sadjür Su bei Aleppo" [as fossil near Antakya (Turkey). Alive in the lower Orontes (Turkey/Syria), as well as in the Karasu, a northern tributary of the Lake Anuk (Turkey), and in the Sājūr river near Aleppo (Syria)].
Remarks.
Junior homonym of Melanopsis hoernesi Sandberger, 1872 (note that latter is a junior objective synonym of Melanopsis subbuccinoides and thus invalid). Heller et al. (2005: 244) considered the species as a junior synonym of Melanopsis costata (Olivier, 1804).
