Persian Gulf. Saudi Arabia ( Apel & Spiridonov 1998), Bahrain ( Apel & Spiridonov 1998), UAE ( Apel & Spiridonov 1998), Iran (present study).

Iran. Hormozgan Province: Qeshm I. (Salakh).

General distribution. Endemic: Persian Gulf.

Habitat. Rocky/cobble intertidal to 9 m.

Remarks. Apel & Spiridonov (1998) described this species originally from the Persian Gulf, and discussed its morphological affinity with its sympatric congeners, T. prymna and T. crenata (for detailed remarks see Apel & Spiridonov 1998: 295–296). The present record is the second one of the species from the Gulf and the first record from the Iranian coast.
