† Melanopsis buccinoidea var. γ) antiquua elongata Ferussac, 1822

Original source.

Férussac 1819-1851: Mélanopsides fossiles, pl. 1 (1822), figs 5-7.

Type horizon.

Eocene.

Type locality.

"Des environs d’Epernay. [...] De l’île de Wight" [surroundings of Épernay (France); Isle of Wight (United Kingdom)].

Remarks.

Introduced within the var. γ, to which Férussac attributed the term " antiquua ", which was probably not intended as species-group name (see introduction for a detailed discussion of the names introduced by Férussac 1823). Note that for figs 6 and 7 of pl. 7 in Férussac (1823), which is the same as pl. 1 of the “Mélanopsides fossiles" in Férussac (1819-1851), Pallary (1916) introduced two new names, i.e., Melanopsis depressa and Melanopsis sparnacensis .
