Distribution

Gulf of Thailand (Nakhon Si Thammarat, Surat Thani, and Songkhla Provinces). Further known from China and Singapore.

Comments

This robust species is closely related to T. chaetulosus and quite common in southern Thailand. It is not strictly marine and thus often found at some distance from the sea. Recently, it was also recorded on Pulau Ubin, an island on the North West coast of Singapore (P. Grootaert, unpublished).
