Varioconus steinabrunnensis ( Sacco, 1893)
(Figs 81–82)
1893 Conus (Chelyconus) steinabrunnensis – SACCO, p. 75.
2014 Chelyconus steinabrunnensis Sacco – KOVÁCS & VICIÁN, p. 61, figs 22–27 (cum syn.).
Material – 21 specimens – Coşteiu: M 60.9854.A-B.; Lăpugiu: M 60.8282.B., 60.8284., 60.8289.J., 60.8290.N., 60.8294.D., 60.8337.D-F., 60.8343.B-D., 60.8969.E-F., 60.10117.B., 60.10311.B., 64.392.B., 68.595.L-M., 68.599.B.
Description – SL: 15.5–47. Spire low, outline concave. Whorls smooth, ramps flat. Shoulder angulate. Body whorl conical, outline convex, smooth with fine grooves at the base. Subsutural flexure asymmetrically curved.
Remarks – As genus Chelyconus was not accepted for fossil conoids by TUCKER & TENORIO (2009) and LANDAU et al. (2013), we place steinabrunnensis within genus Varioconus herein. The species differs from Kalloconus fuscocingulatus in angulate shoulder, from V. vindobonensis in lower spire, and from V. karamanensis (Erünal-Erentöz) in striate spire.
Distribution – Middle Miocene: Paratethys ( Austria, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania).
