Status. Pontocaspian species, status uncertain.

Type locality. Caspian Sea, in two localities, given by Grimm (1877) as 43°17'N, 01°03'E, 40 fathoms, and 42°48'N, 01°22'E, 48 fathoms. Since the longitude was calculated relative to the geographic position of Baku, situated approximately at 50E, the correct longitude should be about 51°00'E ( Vinarski and Kantor 2016).

Distribution. Middle and southern Caspian Sea basins, between 15 and 100 m ( Logvinenko and Starobogatov 1969).

Taxonomic notes. See discussion of T. pallasi for notes on the potential synonymy with T. major Issel, 1865. The status of T. jukovi still requires confirmation ( Vinarski and Kantor 2016).

Conservation status. Not assessed.
