Distribution

ES-SPA (Andalucia). – Also (doubtfully) Algeria.

Habitat

Common in grasslands ( Bailey & De Mendonça 1990) but also in leaf litter under Quercus and under small rocks on clay-loam soil.

Remarks

Hoffman (1975) and Akkari & Enghoff (2012) reviewed the different taxa which are now referred to O. diplurus . The nominal subspecies appendiculatus Brolemann, 1926, from Algeria is based only on females; the occurrence of O. diplurus in North Africa is therefore doubtful.
