| Quote | Many authors reported this species from the Red Sea (see: Dor, 1984) leading Allen (1984) to include the Red Sea and east Africa in the distribution map. Later, he (Allen & Talbot, 1985) realized that all these records were apparently misidentifications and consequently the Red Sea and East Africa were excluded. |
