There aren't any.
I thought the Dash 8 came close, anyways Google is my friend:
CS100 vs Q400 (figures sourced from wikipedia.)
Length: 114ft/107ft
Seats: 110/80
Price US: $62m/$27m
Range: 5,500Km/2,500km
Cruise: 447kt/360kt
Payload: 14,500kg/8,600kg
And the best bit:
Take off run @ MTOW: 1,500m/1,400m

Looks like the writing is on the wall for big passenger turboprops as turbojets get even more powerful and even more efficient.
