Validity Different concepts of this species were applied in the literature and created considerable confusion. Oppenheim introduced the name clearly for the misidentified record of M. costata sensu Neumayr in Neumayr & Paul, 1875 (p. 41), non Olivier, 1804 from Slavonia, despite referring about Greek material. Later, however, he considered the name as rectification also for M. costata sensu Fuchs, 1877 from Megara and sensu Tournouër, 1876 from Kos Island (Oppenheim 1891: 465). This fact remained unnoticed by Wenz (1929: 2808), who treated M. pseudocostata as replacement name of the latter two records (Fuchs, Tournouër) but not of Neumayr and Paul’s species.
In addition, there are three other new names proposed for misidentified M. costata from the Pliocene of Slavonia, i.e., M. croatica Brusina, 1884 (for M. costata sensu Neumayr, 1869), M. cosmanni Pallary, 1916 [= cossmanni, just. emend.] (for M. costata sensu Cossmann, 1909) and M. permutabilis Pallary, 1920 (for M. costata sensu Brusina, 1874). Note that Wenz (1929) erroneously considered M. cosmanni a replacement name of Neumayr’s (1869) record.
Wenz obviously considered all erroneous "M. costata" records from Slavonia to represent the same species and synonymized them with M. cosmanni, but was unaware that M. croatica Brusina, 1884 is the first available name for them. Although the four names (croatica, pseudocostata, cosmanni, permutabilis) likely refer to the very same species they are based on different specimens and thus no objective synonyms.
For the record by Tournouër (1876) from Kos Island, Pallary (1929: 119) introduced M. sculptilis as replacement name. The misidentified Melanopsis costata sensu Fuchs, 1877 from Megara, however, is still nameless.
The name "pseudodecorata" mentioned by Cossmann (1909: 178) is an incorrect subsequent spelling. [details]
