This species was described from the north Caspian Sea near the mouths of the rivers Volga, Ural and Emba. Ragimov (1977) reports this species from off Gasan Kuli at 37°30'N in Turkmenistan near Iranian waters. Shakirova and Sukhanova (1994) record this species from the Atrek lakes of Turkmenistan, the Atrek River flowing into Iran for part of its course. Gobius longecaudatus var. c Kessler, 1877 described from Baku Bay is a synonym. Miller and Pinchuk in Miller (2004) map this species from Iranian waters (Gorgan Bay) but this is not confirmed by specimens. Miller and Pinchuk in Miller (2004) give a recent description of this species.
