Distribution: The species has been previously known only from the type locality: Ain Aata 100 km south-east of Beirut, Lebanon. This is its first record in Israel (Upper Galilee, areas adjoining the border with Lebanon).

Habitat: The spiders were collected from pitfall traps in the dense Mediterranean maquis ('En Ya'aqov) or in the montane oak forest dominated by Quercus calliprinos Webb. (Mt Meron) .

Notes: The structure of the palp in the collected males entirely corresponds to that depicted by Wunderlich (1995) for the holotype of O. cambridgei (Fig. 5A cf. Wunderlich 1995, fig. 15). The conspecific adult female remains unknown.
