Remarks: This material was dredged together with T. regium regium (W. Thomson, 1873) and it was initially considered as a subspecies. However, Young (1998 b) separated T. ovale as a distinct species basing on shell plate characters. T. ovale is also similar to T. gigas, but differs in the carina tectum and the peduncle plates (Young, 1998b).
