Melanopsis infracincta is only known from headwaters of karstic spring-complexes of two tributaries of the Euphrates River in northeastern Syria, namely the Ras el 'Ain spring-complex at the head of the Khabur River (type locality), the 'Ayn al-'Arus spring at the head of the Balikh River and from a spring or its outflow at Tell Abiad, about 10 km northeast of 'Ayn al-'Arus. The latter two localities are considered as one, being two points situated in the uppermost 10 km stretch of the Balikh River in Turkey.
