Redescription, illustrations and photos of type specimens see in Nabozhenko & Keskin (2016) . Distribution. Turkey ( Hakkari Prov. ), Syria , Lebanon , Israel ( Nabozhenko & Keskin 2016 ). One female from southeast Turkey (south of Hakkari Prov. ) listed by Nabozhenko & Keskin (2016) differs slightly from Mediterranean populations of O. punctata . Status of this population probably will be revised after the study of males. Bionomics. The species inhabits many biotopes, feeds on lichens on Cedrus libani , Quercus sp., Pinus spp., on stones in high mountains.
