Revised description. Large, robust, broad fusiform shell of up to eight teleoconch whorls; apical angle 46– 56°. Protoconch low conical of three convex whorls, diameter 1100 μm, height 800 μm. Last protoconch whorl bearing a couple of broad axial riblets. Early teleoconch whorls weakly convex, shouldered, bearing widely spaced, prominent, axial ribs, fading over subsutural ramp. Spiral sculpture of prominent subsutural cord, two prominent spiral cords at shoulder and slightly below, fourth cord appears at abapical suture on third whorl. Weaker secondary cord intercalated below subsutural cord on first whorl. Additional secondary and tertiary cords intercalated between primaries on subsequent whorls. Suture strongly undulating. Later spire whorls low, with broad subsutural collar composed of two stronger secondary cords, subsutural ramp broad, concave, bearing weaker cords of alternating strength, shoulder cord bearing prominent, pointed nodes developed over ribs, subcylindrical to weakly concave below. Last whorl attaining 63–68% of total height, strongly shouldered, often coronate, subcylindrical slightly below angulation demarcated by weaker peribasal angulation; base strongly constricted; fasciole prominent, slightly twisted, separated from columellar callus by broad chink. Sculpture of three prominent primary spiral cords placed at shoulder, mid-whorl, and base, with secondary and tertiary cords regularly intercalated; ribs fade below periphery. Aperture moderately wide, pyriform. Columella moderately excavated in adapical half; three prominent columellar folds on abapical half, hardly visible on apertural view. Columellar callus forming broad, thickened rim, sharply delimited in fully grown specimens. Anal canal weakly incised, accentuated by broad, low parietal denticle. Outer lip not thickened, with variable number of lirae starting a short distance from lip edge and extending deep within aperture. Siphonal canal moderately long, narrow, slightly deflected to the left.

Discussion. Murex fimbriatus Brocchi, 1814 , from the Pliocene of the Mediterranean Sea, was placed by Snyder et al. (2012: 55) in the Peristerniinae genus Tarantinaea Monterosato, 1917 [type species Murex lignarius Linnaeus, 1758 ; by monotypy; present-day, Mediterranean Sea]. This placement was adopted by Landau et al. (2013), Kovács (2022) and Kovács & Vicián (2023) also for the Miocene Paratethyan Fasciolaria hoernesii Seguenza, 1875 , which is followed herein. Tarantinaea lignaria is a relatively broad fusiform species with a smooth shell, marked shoulder angulation bearing large, blunt nodes, and it lacks a prominent fasciole forming a pseudoumbilicus. The Paratethyan Tarantinaea hoernesii differs from the Pliocene Tarantinaea fimbriata in having a wider apical angle, in having a lower spire with the whorls less stepped, in having sharper sculpture with more strongly developed secondary and tertiary cords and in having more strongly developed columellar folds.

According to Landau et al. (2013: 198) Tarantinaea hoernesii was ancestral to the Pliocene and Early Pleistocene Tarantinaea fimbriata ( Brocchi, 1814) and its Pliocene offshoot Tarantinaea amplectens ( Ruggieri, Bruno & Curti, 1959) .

Paratethyan synonyms. Fasciolaria trunculus Handmann, 1882 , from Baden-Sooss ( Austria). The description might represent a subadult shell of Tarantinaea hoernesii . The measurements in Handmann (1882) (SL: 5 mm) are obviously incorrect. The whereabouts of the holotype is unknown. It was stored in the private collection of Joachim von Brenner-Felsach (1859–1927), which is lost. We consider it a species inquirenda.

Paleoenvironment. The occurrences at Gainfarn, Steinebrunn and Vienna /Pötzleinsdorf indicate shallow marine, inner neritic settings with seagrass meadows ( Zuschin et al. 2007; own data).

Genus Turrilatirus Vermeij & Snyder, 2006

Type species. Voluta turrita Gmelin, 1791 ; original designation by Vermeij & Snyder (2006: 417). Present-day, Indo-West Pacific.

Diagnosis. “Shell small to medium-sized, maximum adult length 18 to 74 mm, high-spired, fusiform, basally constricted, with a short siphonal protuberance; spire usually longer than aperture plus canal; spire flat-sided, with appressed sutures; last whorl evenly rounded, without shoulder angulation; axial sculpture of last whorl consisting of six to ten low, broad, rounded ribs, mainly confined to central sector; spiral sculpture consisting of two or three strong subsutural cords, six or seven smooth rounded cords on central sector, often with a thread between adjacent cords, and three to five low cords on base; intersections between cords and axial ribs without nodes; aperture relatively small, elongate-oval; outer lip of adult convex, adapical sinus shallow or absent, abapical sinus absent; edge of adult outer lip very slightly reflected, with paired crenations on central sector; inner side of outer lip with smooth lirae, which in adults of large species form two or three enlarged, deeply recessed denticles on abapical part. These denticles do not occur in Pustulatirus . Inner lip usually slightly erect, with four abapical folds and in adults a parietal nodule; pseudoumbilicus usually absent.” ( Vermeij & Snyder 2006: 417).
