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]Type locality Montegibbio, Modena, and Sant'Agata Fossili ("S. Agata") and Stazzano, Alessandria, and Vado Centro (Zinola), Savona, Italy; Tortonian to Messinian, late Miocene [details]
Validity Not available from Bonelli (1827) [an unpublished catalogue] and Sismonda (1842) [nomen nudum]. [details]
