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] 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]
