Geological age. Pleistocene ( di Geronimo et al. 2005).

Remarks. This species occurs exclusively in the Eastern Atlantic. Records from the Western Atlantic are misidentifications, most likely of Triphora triserialis var. aspera Jeffreys, 1885 . Because of the homonymy with Triforis asper Deshayes, 1866 , Bouchet & Guillemot (1978) introduced the replacement name Triphora brychia .
