Description. See Kovács (2018: 29).
Discussion. This species was established by Kovács (2018) in Siratus Jousseaume, 1880 [type species Murex sirat d’Orbigny, 1841 , = Siratus senegalensis ( Gmelin, 1791) ; original designation by Jousseaume (1880: 335); present-day, Brazil]. This placement would make it the only species of that genus in the Neogene of Europe. Indeed, the available specimens resemble some Siratus due to their elongated P1 spines, small columellar denticles and a well-developed P5. They resemble Siratus tenuivaricosus ( Dautzenberg, 1927) from the Western Atlantic, but species of Siratus have a narrower and longer siphonal canal and coarser cords. The Paratethyan species are reminiscent of the extant Chicoreus (Triplex) varians (G.B. Sowerby II, 1834) from Port Gentil ( Gabon) illustrated in Merle et al. (2011: pl.75, fig. 13). Both species share a large siphonal canal, fine spiral cords, elongated P1 spines, and well developed P5 and MP. The American Early to Late Miocene Chicoreus (Triplex) cornurectus ( Guppy, 1876) is also very similar, but has coarser cords. Therefore, we place Siratus hirmetzli Kovács 2018 in Chicoreus (Triplex) .
Paleoenvironment. The assemblage from Letkés ( Hungary) represents shallow marine environments with corals ( Kovács & Vicián 2014).
Distribution in Central Paratethys. Badenian (Middle Miocene): Pannonian Basin: Letkés ( Hungary)
( Kovács et al. 2018); Făget Basin: Lăpugiu de Sus ( Romania) ( Kovács 2019).
