Remarks – This rare species was regarded as a synonym of V. ponderosus by HALL (1964) and by KOVÁCS & VICIÁN (2014). However, the morphological features allow acceptance of the validity, so here we follow the recent classification of VAESSEN (2010). V. pseudoponderosus differs from both V. clavatulus and V. ponderosus in lower spire with straight outline and in broader shell. The species is probable a transitional form between V. ponderosus and V. conoponderosus. Distribution – Middle Miocene: Atlantic (France), Paratethys (Hungary, Romania).	en	Kovács, Zoltán, Balázs, Péter (2015): Conidae (Neogastropoda) assemblage from the Middle Miocene of the Făget Basin (Romania) in the collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest.

Body whorl conical, outline convex, smooth with fine grooves at the base. Subsutural flexure asymmetrically curved. Remarks – As genus Chelyconus was not accepted for fossil conoids by TUCKER & TENORIO (2009) and LANDAU et al. (2013), we place steinabrunnensis within genus Varioconus herein. The species differs from Kalloconus fuscocingulatus in angulate shoulder, from V. vindobonensis in lower spire, and from V. karamanensis (Erünal-Erentöz) in striate spire.

Remarks – V. enzesfeldensis (Hoernes et Auinger) was regarded as a synonym of V. subraristriatus by LANDAU et al. (2013). The species shows moderate variability in the height of the spire.

After the analysis of the Făget Basin materials, however, we recognize the validity of the species. V. pelagicus differs in sigmoid body whorl with well-developed siphonal fasciole, and in nearly diagonal subsutural flexure.
