Marshallena

Marshallena is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Marshallenidae.

R.S. Allen (1927) didn't specify a type species for this genus. H.J. Finlay (1927) selected Belophos incertus <small>Marshall, 1919</small>, which was amended by Powell (1966 + 1969) to † Daphnella neozelanica <small>Suter, 1917</small>

Before 2018 this genus used to belong to the family Horaiclavidae.
