Present Inaccurate Introduced: alien Containing type locality

Spelling The name was based on Bonelli’s unpublished catalogue, but was first described in Viquesnel (1846) as "M.[elanopsis] narsolina" [sic]. However, the name M. narzolina - probably the "correct" spelling sensu Bonelli - has been in prevailing usage since then. For reasons of stability, the name narzolina should be maintained according to Art. 33.3.1 (see Harzhauser et al. 2015: 10).
