Oecobius trimaculatus O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1872: 219, pl. 13, fig. 7 (♂ ♀); Wunderlich 1995: 599, figs 61–65 (♂ ♀); Zonstein & Marusik 2013: 62; Bosmans & Gavalas 2023: 27, fig. 13A–C (♀).

Material examined: Israel: Judean Hills: 5♂, 1♀, foothills near Yishpro 3 km W Modi'in, 31°53'N 34°59'E, 200 m, 11–20.iv.2012, I. Bernstein (SMNHTAU); 1♂, same but 9–17.v.2012, I. Bernstein (SMNHTAU) .

Distribution: The species had been described from the lowlands, also known from ancient times as the Plains of the Jordan, lying north-west of the Dead Sea and bordered in the east by the lower flow of the Jordan River. Later, it was found in Greece (WSC 2024). The present records confirm the existence of this species in Israel, most probably throughout the country.

Habitat: The spiders were collected in pitfall traps, on rocky slopes covered by the Mediterranean shrubland of ‘batha’ type and grasslands.
