    ABSTRACT
    Marginella caterinae     Bozzetti et G. Raybaudi, 1991 (Volutoidea Marginellidae), descrive from Somalia, is revised on the ground of specimens collected along the central coast of the Dhofar, Oman. A sibling species collected in sympatry is described as M. gabrielae n. sp. The shell variability of both species is discussed, and their animal chromatism is illustrated. The generic placement of this species group is discussed, as well as its affinities with the species group of M. cloveri Rios et Matthews, 1972 distributed off equatorial and tropical Brazil.
