Nomenclature Wenz (1928) introduced Melanopsis pedemontana subcallosa as replacement name for the simultaneously published homonym Melanopsis taurinensis Sacco, 1889, non Melanopsis clava var. taurinensis Sacco, 1889. However, according to Art. 24.1., the name proposed at higher rank takes precedence. Hence, Melanopsis pedemontana subcallosa Wenz, 1928 is a junior objective synonym of Melanopsis taurinensis Sacco, 1889, while Melanopsis clava var. taurinensis Sacco, 1889 is still an invalid homonym without replacement name.
