It was found on rock outcrops on a steep slope within an acidophilus beech forest, in a locality not situated in the Mediterranean part of Croatia . The siliceous geological bedrock facilitates the occurrence of species such as Bazzania tricrenata (Wahlenb.) Lindb. , B. trilobata (L.) Gray, Dicranella heteromalla , Hedwigia ciliata, Sphagnum quinquefarium (Braithw.) Warnst. and Trichocolea tomentella (Ehrh.) Dumort .. Oystegus tenuirostris is a Circumpolar Boreo-temperate species ( Hill & Preston 1998 ; Smith 2004 ), scattered in montane regions throughout Europe ( Frey et al. 2006 ). The species was recorded for the first time in Croatia , in Golubinjak Forest in Gorski Kotar Region ( Papp et al. 2013a ). In SE Europe it is also known from Albania ( Papp et al. 2010a ), Bulgaria ( Natcheva et al. 2006 ), Greece ( Düll 1995 ), Montenegro ( Dragićević & Veljić 2006 ), Romania ( Stefănuţ & Goia 2012 ), Serbia ( Sabovljević & Stevanović 1999 ) and Slovenia (Martinčič 2003).
