Only two, S. turbinoides (Blainville, 1832) and T. tricolorata Bozzetti, 2010 , a probable Semiricinula , live off Madagascar. The genus occurs throughout the Indo-West Pacific, from South Africa ( Houart et al. 2011: 259) to Japan ( Tsuchiya 2000: 397, pl. 97, figs 173 [as Thais muricata ] and 176 [as Thais sp. ]; 399, pl.198, fig.180 [as Thais squamigera ]) and French Polynesia ( Houart & Tröndlé 2008).
