Black-faced blenny 2007) and "T. tripteronotum" (Risso, 1810). Besides "T. delaisi", all species are endemic to the Mediterranean Sea. The species "T. delaisi" is subdivided in two subspecies: "T. delaisi delaisi" in the Mediterranean Sea and "T. delaisi xanthosoma" in the Atlantic Ocean. The subspecies can be distinguished by their courtship behaviour: "T. delaisi delaisi" court in free water and "T. delaisi xanthosoma" stay on the ground for courtship behaviour.
