REMARKS After redescription and lectotype designation of T. semilaeve André, 1883 recent studies showed that distribution of this species is restricted to the Western Mediterranean area ( Borowiec et al. 2015 ). Borowiec et al. (2015) also confirmed that T. galaticum is a distinct species from the T. semilaeve , and suggested that probably most of T. semilaeve records from North-eastern part of Mediterranean basin refer to T. galaticum or other species of the T. semilaeve complex.
