Host plants: Solanum, Anagallis, Pistacia ( Lopatin, Nesterova 2005) .

General distribution: Europe (northwards to the Netherlands, SW Poland and S Belarus), Asia Minor, Caucasus, N Africa.

Note: Pūtele (1968) mentioned the species from single locality in Saldus d., Broceņi. I have not found specimen of O. ventralis in the collection of Pūtele [in the collection of Institute of Biology]. Perhaps, this record is based on misidentification and relate to Lythraria salicariae (Paykull, 1800) . Occurrence of this species in the Latvian fauna is doubtful, therefore it is excluded from the list of Latvian Coleoptera .
