Species of the genus Obdulia have been reported mostly from Tamarix spp. (Tamaricaceae), except O. sinai collected from leaves of Organum syriacum L. ( Lamiaceae) from Egypt. Obdulia tamaricis has been reported from cone-shaped twig galls on Tamarix spp. (Pritchard and Baker 1958; Gerling et al. 1976; Farzan and Asadi 2011) and O. daadi has been collected also from leaves of Tamarix spp. (Al-Gboory 1987; El-Kady 1997; Mesa et al. 2009; Farzan and Asadi 2011; Khanjani et al. 2013).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CBD160FF86FFEFC6F5FC07FE5A7470	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
