From editor or global species database
Synonymy Wenz (1929) synonymized Melania brocchii Michelotti, 1847 with Ptychomelania buccinella assuming that the latter was validly described by Sismonda (1842). However, that name is a nomen nudum, it was validly introduced by Sacco (1895). Consequently, the earliest valid name of the species is Ptychomelania brocchii. [details]
