Material – 43 specimens.
Description – Shell medium-sized (SL: 25–41). Spire high, outline straight. Spiral whorls convex, smooth, sutures pronounced. Shoulder rounded. Body whorl conical, outline straight to slightly convex, ornamented with widely spaced spiral ridges and dotted brownish spiral lines. Subsutural flexure asymmetrically curved.
Remarks – The Letkés specimens agree with the type in morphology and ornamentation. The species is close to V. pelagicus in shape, but it differs in ornamentation. The colour pattern resembles that of Lautoconus raristriatus (Bellardi et Michelotti) , but the spire is much higher. V. enzesfeldensis differs from Monteiroconus aldrovandi in narrower shell, higher spire, and ornamentation.
Distribution – (?) Spain (M), Turkey (LM-MM), Austria, Bosnia, Romania (MM), Greece (MM-UM). Hungary: Borsodbóta, Letkés, Pécsszabolcs, Szob (MM).
