Material examined — 2 specimens from the Retezat Massif, 1 specimen from Turu’s Gorges ( Apuseni Mountains ) . Diagnosis — Medium sized species, one of the smaller representatives of the genus (Table 1), light yellowish in colour. Cuticle smooth, without ornamentation. Prodorsum elongated, with long lamellae; lamellar apex with a rounded, evident cuspis. A long prolamella is present, almost reaching the origin of rostral setae ( Figure 4b ). Prodorsal setae finely barbed, sensillus fusiform clavate. Notogaster oval, rounded, with 13 pairs of simple and short setae ( Table 2 ). Areae porosae are small, round, in the usual position. Epimeral and genito-anal regions with typical aspect. Chaetotaxy of these regions are also characteristic for the genus. Distribution and autecology — Central and Western Europe ( Subias 2004 ). O. longelamellata is a mountain to alpine species; in Romania was recorded in the Retezat National Park and in the Turu’s Gorges (Apuseni Mountains), only on limestones, therefore can be considered a stenotopic form ( Vasiliu et al. 1993 ).
