Melanism is a development of the dark-colored pigment melanin in the skin or its appendages and is the opposite of albinism. The word melanism is derived from the Greek: ("black pigment").Pseudo-melanism, also called abundism, is another variant of pigmentation, characterized by dark spots or enlarged stripes, which cover a large part of the body of the animal, making it appear melanistic. * A deficiency in or total absence of melanin pigments is called amelanism. * The morbid deposition of black matter, often of a malignant character causing pigmented tumors, is called melanosis.
