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.
