Ophrys truncata was described by DULAC in 1867 from Mauléon-Magnoac, which is located in southwestern France in the northern part of department Hautes-Pyrenees. However, the description is so brief and vague that it is not certain that it was the species depicted, which can now be found a few kilometers further north in department Gers. Because of this uncertainty, Delforge described the depicted species in 1996 newly under the name Ophrys aegirtica. In the second edition of his field guide, he later also included Ophrys druentica to that species. In department Gers, he found Eucera hispanica, now called Eucera ephippia as pollinator, which is a different bee than the one that pollinates the Central European Late Spider Orchid.
