Diagnosis. Most similar to O. lienharti ( Brolemann, 1921) and O. bipartitus ( Verhoeff, 1910) differing in the shape of the promerite and distal part of paracoxite. The taxonomic status and relationship of these three species will be clarified in a subsequent work on the genus.

Distribution. O. moreleti is indigenous to continental Portugal and Spain and has been introduced to several Atlantic Islands, South Africa and Australia.

Habitat. In Portugal, recorded in the litter of Pinus and Quercus forests ( Bailey and De Mendonça 1990), collected in the litter of varied forests respectively dominated by Pinus spp. , Quercus suber , Ulex densus and Q. coccifera , and Q. coccifera ( Baker 1984) . In South Africa, Cape Town, recorded from varied types of natural habitats (see Schubart 1966) and mentioned as very common in gardens ( Attems 1928), regarded as a pest of severe nuisance infesting several vegetables and fruits in southeastern Australia ( Baker 1984).

Comments. The first record of O. moreleti from continental Spain was made by Ceuca (1974) who recorded the species from Zaragoza and Teruel. The same record was subsequently repeated by Mauriès (1975) and Vicente (1985). More recently, Bailey and De Mendonça (1990) who studied the distribution of this species in relation to other Ommatoiulus species in the southwestern Iberian Peninsula gave further records of O. moreleti from the southwestern coastal plain up to Doñana National Park at the mouth of the Rio Guadalquivir, south of Sevilla.

Intraspecific variation of O. moreleti was studied in Portugal ( Baker 1984) and South Africa ( Attems 1928, Schubart 1966).
