Distribution. E. Cape (Port Elizabeth) to Atlantic Cape coast (Table Bay and Robben Island); intertidal and shallow subtidal. Intergrades with T. cidaris natalensis on the southern Cape coast (Cape Agulhas to Port Alfred). A record from Angola (Odhner 1923; Nicklès 1950) seems improbable and requires confirmation.
