Taxonomic remark The name first appeared in 1822 on the captions for plate 1 of the "Mélanopsides fossiles" in Férussac’s "Histoire naturelle". While Férussac (1823) included also recent specimens under that name in his monograph on the Melanopsidae, the only specimen illustrated in 1822 in the "Histoire naturelle" was a fossil one from the Villafranchian of Italy. This fact remained widely unknown to biologists and paleontologists alike. The consequence, however, is that probably none of the specimens referred to as M. nodosa in the biological literature, which reports it from Anatolia and the Middle East, actually correspond to the real M. nodosa. Fossil Italian specimens are often erroneously referred to as "Melanopsis affinis Férussac" or "M. antiqua Férussac" (Pallary 1916, Wenz 1929, Esu and Girotti 1975), both of which are unavailable names.
