Adraneothrips is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae. [3] The genus has its highest species diversity in the New World, [1] particularly the Neotropics, [2] though species are also known from Asia, Australia and Africa. [2]
Many species in Adraneothrips have two-color patterns, and sexual dimorphism is limited. [2] They are associated with leaf litter and other dead leaves, [2] and are presumed mycophagous. [2]
