Hi Albert,
Opilio has been recorded as aspromontanum and ravennae. Both were later synonymised with Opilio canestrinii. As all who recorded Opilio from Malta seem to have meant the same species, this is likely to be Opilio canestrinii. The species is very variable in terms of colouration and leg length.
