Kirby has described several species which closely resemble marginalis, one of them (limbata) in the genus Citrinophila, the others tenera, serena and similis in the genus Teriomima. It is difficult to identify these species with certainty, as the available specimens do not agree precisely with the original descriptions, and Kirby did not state the sex of his holotypes. Aurivillius (1918 : 326) established the following pairs of synonyms, similis and marginalis, and tenera (Text-fig. 29) with Fig. 30.
