Corfu, Balkans, Aegean islands (frequent on Rhodes), SW Anatolia. A closely-related species, O. straussii, which is perhaps best regarded as a subspecies of O. reinholdii, extends from the Aegean to Iran.
A handsome species with a very dark labellum and two contrasting whitish stripes; these stripes sometimes connected. In light shade in pine and oak woods or scrub, or in full sun in grasslands, on roadsides etc.
