Revised description. Shell small, solid, moderately broad fusiform with high spire; apical angle 30–33°. Protoconch not preserved. Teleoconch of ten whorls. Early teleoconch whorls flat-sided with two smooth, narrow adsutural spiral cords separated by broad mid-portion bearing fine, opisthocline axial riblets. Riblets fading out on fourth or fifth teleoconch whorls. Later whorls concave, with periphery at abapical suture. Prominent subsutural collar bearing widely-spaced pointed tubercles placed at mid-collar, developed from eighth whorl. Suprasutural cord almost completely obscured by succeeding whorl. Spiral sculpture of delicate spiral threads weakening on last whorl. Suture narrowly incised, superficial, linear. Last whorl ~60% of total height; of medium width. Weakly coronate subsutural collar bearing 10–12 pointed tubercles. Subsutural ramp wide, concave, delimited by angular shoulder placed at level of insertion of outer lip. Base placed high, in short distance below shoulder, weakly angled, strongly constricted. Weak siphonal fasciole. Entire surface covered in fine spiral cords of alternating strength and slightly stronger over base and fasciole. Aperture wide, pyriform. Outer lip not thickened, smooth within. Anal sinus moderately wide and deep, asymmetrically U-shaped, with apex mid-ramp; siphonal canal moderately long, narrow, slightly deflected to the left, shallowly notched at tip. Columella strongly excavated, twisted at fasciole, smooth. Columellar and parietal callus moderately thickened, adherent, forming broad callus rim.

Discussion. This species was until now placed in the genus Clavatula by all authors. However, the commashaped axial riblets on early teleoconch whorls suggest a placement in Perrona . Perrona styriaca ( Hilber, 1879) is surprisingly rare and the wide distribution suggested by the literature records is based on numerous misidentifications. The concept of this species was also blurred by Hoernes & Auinger (1891) by including an aberrant specimen of Perrona lydiae ( Hoernes & Auinger, 1891) and by including specimens of Megaclavatula pilleri nov. sp. from Baden-Sooss ( Austria) in their description. Perrona lydiae , however, is clearly separated from P. styriaca by its swollen adsutural cords, higher spire and more slender outline. Megaclavatula pilleri is distinguished by its tripartite sculpture on the early teleoconch whorls, as opposed to the comma-shaped axial riblets typical of Perrona species. Several authors placed small sized and subadult shells of Megaclavatula laevigata ( Eichwald, 1830) in P. styriaca (e.g., Švagrovský 1958, Strausz 1966), which all differ from P. styriaca in having tripartite early teleoconch whorl sculpture. Similarly, the single specimen from Korytnica, reported by Bałuk (2003) as P. styriaca has a reduced peribasal spiral cord and differs from P. styriaca also in its shorter spire and wider apical angle. Specimens from the Carpathian Foredeep, referred to as Clavatula styriaca by Friedberg (1912, 1938) and Bałuk (1970) were described as Clavatula kowalewskii by Bałuk (2003) [= Megaclavatula antoniae ( Hoernes & Auinger, 1891) ], which differs from P. styriaca in its slender fusiform outline, a conical spire and strongly reduced sculpture on the subsutural collar.

Paleoenvironment. Shallow marine, inner neritic, based on the mollusc assemblage from Pöls ( Austria) (own data).

Distribution in Central Paratethys. Badenian (middle Miocene): Styrian Basin: Pöls ( Austria) ( Hoernes & Auinger 1891).
