Previous records in the Algerian Sahara. Laghouat (Blanchard 1891), Ghardaïa (Gauthier 1934 a), Tasilli N’Ajjer (Thiéry & Rogers 2022). Previous records in the Hauts Plateaux and coastal area. The phylogeography of the T. cancriformis species complex has been the focus of a detailed study using molecular analyses (Korn et al. 2006, 2010) that reinstated T. simplex to full status. The species has been recorded at Biskra (Simon 1885), Mécheria, between Laghouat and Djelfa (Gauthier 1928 b), Dayet El Itima (Gauthier 1934 a), Boucif, Jemot (Samraoui et al. 2006), Timerganine, Jemot (Ouahioune Rais 2019), Jemot (Beladjal & Amarouayache 2023).

Comments. T. simplex is common in the steppe zone of the Hauts Plateaux as well as in the arid northern Sahara. As observed in Tunisia (Marrone et al. 2016), the species is not present in the humid coastal regions.
