Revised description. Medium-sized, very slender fusiform shell of up to ten teleoconch whorls; apical angle ~30–32°. Protoconch very high conical of 2.5 weakly convex whorls, diameter 800 μm, height 1150 μm. Last two protoconch whorls with orthocline to opisthocyrt axial riblets. Transition to teleoconch marked by onset of spiral sculpture consisting of three weak primary spiral cord plus weaker subsutural cord. Early teleoconch whorls convex with shoulder placed below mid-whorl. Later whorls with broad subsutural ramp and narrow subsutural collar, prominent, widely spaced axial ribs, separated by much wider interspaces, adapically weakening over subsutural ramp; ramp initially with two faint spiral cords, fading around sixth teleoconch whorl; three very prominent spiral cords along periphery, a fourth appearing above abapical suture on third teleoconch whorl. Spiral cords weakening on late spire whorls, obsolete on penultimate to last whorl. Simultaneously, whorl profile changing from shouldered to convex. Suture deeply incised. Last whorl attaining 65% of total height, weakly shouldered or regularly convex, smooth subsutural area and mid-whorl; base strongly constricted, bearing alternating primary and secondary cords, weakening over siphonal canal. Aperture narrow, elongate pyriform. Columellar callus strongly thickened, forming narrow rim, sharply delimited from base. Fasciole indistinct. Columella hardly excavated, smooth, weakly twisted at transition to siphonal canal. Anal canal not developed. Outer lip thin with weak lirae extending deep within aperture. Siphonal canal extraordinarily long, narrow, straight.

Paratethyan synonyms. Fusus grallifer Handmann, 1882 was based on a specimen from Baden-Sooss ( Austria (SL: c. 42 mm, MD: 10 mm). The specimen was described as “ elongate, fusiform; with short, rounded whorls, scalariform, close to the adapical suture, the ribs long transversed by thick and thin stripes, ribs and striae disappearing on last whorl; base narrowed, slightly striated, siphonal canal very straight, very long; aperture subcircular ” ( Handmann 1882: 260, translated from Latin). Handmann (1882) emphasized the similarity with ‘ Fusus semirugosus’ sensu Hörnes (1853) . Fusus grallifer Handmann, 1882 would predate Fusus vindobonensis Hoernes & Auinger, 1890 . The former ‘Rudolf Handmann collection’ is stored in the Kollegium Kalksburg in Vienna, a Catholic private school, but the type is lost, and it remains unclear if Fusus grallifer is really conspecific with Angustifusus vindobonensis . We therefore consider Fusus grallifer a nomen inquirendum and give priority to Hoernes & Auinger’s name.

Discussion. Angustifusus vindobonensis (Hoernes & Auinger, 1890) co-occurs with Angustifusus hoessii ( Naumann, 1852) , which differs in its broader shell and less shouldered spire whorls. Angustifusus vindobonensis lacks all the fine secondary spirals seen in A. hoessii that persist along entire surface. Angustifusus vindobonensis was confused by Hörnes (1853) with Angustifusus semirugosus ( Bellardi & Michelotti, 1840) , from the Burdigalian and Langhian of the Colli Torinesi ( Italy). The Italian species, however, is less slender and has a lower spire (see Bellardi 1873: pl. 9, fig. 5).

Paleoenvironment. Occurrences in the Baden Formation of the Vienna Basin suggest middle to outer neritic environments in up to 250 m water depth ( Kranner et al. 2021).

Distribution in Central Paratethys. Badenian (Middle Miocene): Korytnica Basin: Korytnica ( Poland) ( Bałuk 1995); Vienna Basin: Baden, Bad Vöslau, Baden-Sooss ( Austria) (Hoernes & Auinger 1890); Pannonian Basin: Letkés ( Hungary) ( Strausz 1966); Făget Basin: Buituri, Lăpugiu de Sus, CoŞteiu de Sus, NemeŞeŞti ( Romania) (Hoernes & Auinger 1890; Moisescu 1955); Dacian Basin: Opanec, Staropatica, Târnene ( Bulgaria) (Kojumdgieva in Kojumdgieva & Strachimirov 1960).

Genus Ariefusus Vermeij & Snyder, 2018

Type species. Fusus rutilus Nicolay & G. Berthelot, 1996 ; original designation by Vermeij & Snyder (2018: 67). Present day, Western Africa.

Diagnosis. “ Shell elongate fusiform (length to diameter ratio 2.4: 3.1) with a long straight tapering siphonal canal (canal length to shell length ratio 0.30: 0.41) that is very narrowly open (less than 2 mm); axial sculpture consisting of very high, sharply rounded ribs forming axially elongate nodes at periphery; spiral sculpture consisting of fine cords not expanded into nodules where crossing ribs below periphery and not roughened by growth lines; aperture small, ovate, adapically rounded; outer lip edge abapically slightly convex; inner side of outer lip with smooth lirae; inner lip adherent, its adapical end with obsolete parietal ridge.” ( Vermeij & Snyder 2018: 67).
