The following 12 new species are described from the northern Red Sea (Egypt) or the southern Red Sea (Yemen), or from the south coast of Yemen and Oman. Family Drilliidae: Clavus (Tylotiella) glaucozona, C. (T.) infuscatus. Family Turridae, subfamily Crassispirinae: Ptychobela dancei, Crassispira safagaensis. Family Conidae, subfamily Raphitominae: Kermia aegyptiaca; sub-family Clathurellinae: Etrema cratis; subfamily Mangeliinae: Eucithara capillaris, E. villaumeae, E. (s.l.) makadiensis, E. perhumerata, Pseudorhaphitoma uncicostata, P. perplexior. Clavatula fulva Hinds, 1843, a name commonly misapplied to various species of Clavus, is here regarded as a nomen dubium in the genus Paradrillia Makiyama, 1940. Reasons are given for rejecting Pleurotoma mica Philippi, 1850, as a nomen dubium. A syntype of Glyphostoma aliciae var. tenera Hedley, 1899 [= Etrema tenera] is figured for the first time.
