Homonymy Replacement name for Melanopsis rugosa Matheron, 1843, non Melania rugosa Lea, 1842, both believed to belong in Melania by d'Orbigny (1850). Although none of both taxa belong in Melania (= Thiara), the name by Matheron is permanently invalid because it was replaced before 1961 (Art. 59.3). The original combination is however retained.
