1893 Chelyconus taurorectus – SACCO, p. 67, pl. 6, fig. 35, variety: proappenninica: p. 68, pl. 6, fig. 37. 1964 Conus taurorectus (Sacco) – HALL, p. 161, pl. 20, figs 8, 13.
Material – 1 specimen – Lăpugiu: M 60.8355.
Description – SL: 55. Spire of moderate height, outline straight. Spiral whorls slightly convex, smooth, suture deep. Shoulder broad, rounded. Body whorl broadly conical, with prominent growth lines. Aperture somewhat flaring at the base. Subsutural flexure asymmetrically curved, deep.
Remarks – The specimen slightly differs from the type (refigured by FERRERO MORTARA et al. 1984, pl. 18, fig. 4) in narrower base. The species is probably a morphotype of V. conoponderosus .
