Previous Rif records

Oued Laou region ( Achouri et al. 2008c); Oued Laou ( Colombini et al. 2008); Aouchtane ( Charfi-Cheikhrouha and El Gtari 2008).

Distribution

This littoral species is known with certainty from the whole Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, Atlantic coasts of Europe as far north as Brittany, and the Azores.

Remarks

The exact distribution of T. europaeus is difficult to be defined since in the past it has been often recorded as Tylos latreillii Audouin, 1826 together with the other Mediterranean species T. ponticus Grebnitzky, 1874 . For comments on the taxonomy and diagnostic characters of this species see Taiti and Ferrara (1996).
