Comments.

Oobius is a cosmopolitan genus as defined by Noyes (2010) who provided its detailed diagnosis, which is omitted here for brevity. One extralimital species, Oobius striatus Annecke, is also known from eggs of Asilidae ( Diptera ) in Montenegro and Zimbabwe ( Annecke 1967; Noyes 2010, 2014).
