Distribution
ES-CNY, ES-SPA, PT-AZO, PT-MDR, PT-POR. – Also introduced into the Afrotropical and Australian regions, and to
Bermuda
.
Habitat
Abundant in several habitats in Macaronesia,
Portugal
and Western Spain, with a large altitudinal range. On a site where it coexists with
O. cingulatus
and
O. oliveirae
,
Bailey & de Mendonça (1990)
found it in
Quercus
and
Cistus
litter but not in grassland where
O. oliveirae
predominated. In
Australia
it is regarded as a pest due to its sometimes extreme abundance see, e.g., http://www.
polydesmida
.info/ tasmanianmultipedes/milli-jul-exo.html.
Remarks
Quite a variable species (see, e.g.,
Baker 1984
).
O.cervinus
is most likely a synonym of
O. moreleti
(N. Akkari in litt.).
