Earlier faunal reports of O. erichsonii (Suffrian, 1841) in Latvia ( Pūtele 1974, 1980, 1981, 1981 a; Barševskis 1988, 1993, 2002; Telnov 2002; Kalniņš et al. 2007; Bukejs, Telnov 2007; Bukejs 2009) probably is related to O. septentrionis (Weise, 1880) .

Recently O. septentrionis (Weise, 1880) was confirmed in Sweden, Danmark and Norway ( Wanntorp 2009). In Sweden, records of O. septentrionis (Weise, 1880) were done in humid meadows while O. erichsonii (Suffrian, 1841) seems to prefer dry habitats.

The precise distribution of these species must be defined more exactly because of the former confusion. After Bieńkowski (2004), O. septentrionis is (Weise, 1880) is distributed in W Europe, Caucasus and Russian Far East (Khabarovsk region) but O. erichsonii (Suffrian, 1841) is distributed in Europe, Siberia and Russian Far East.

This complex is in need of revision including type specimens and material from the entire area of distribution.
