Xaniothrips is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae, [1] which was first described by Laurence Mound in 1971. [2] [3] The type species is Xaniothrips xantes . [2]

Contents

Members of this genus are found only in Australia, [4] (in all mainland states and territories with the exception of Victoria) [2] in semi-arid zones, [5] where they are kleptoparasites on Acacias. [4] That is, they attack and steal the homes (galls) in Acacias created by other thrips species and continue to parasitise the acacia. [4] [5] Adults use their abdomens to do this. [5]
