The taxonomy of this species is unsettled: the type series contains syntypes from all three Maghreb countries and is probably heterogeneous. However, the principal collection series among the syntypes in NHMB, comprising gynes, originate from northern Tunisia. We base the comparison with T. forte on these gynes. There is currently no indication that the species occurs in Morocco.
