Status The status of this species is unclear. First of all, Kühn did not at all refer to the senior homonym Melanopsis (Melanosteira) mitzopoulosi Papp, 1955 but clearly described the species as new. Neither did Papp (1979: 668), who must have been aware of the issue and who ranked it as a subspecies of M. longa Deshayes in Férussac & Deshayes, 1839. Moreover, Papp stated that Kühn’s species was based on the material collected by Papp (1947) and considered the type locality mentioned by Kühn a mistake. Kühn (1963), however, did not refer to Papp’s material at all. [details]
