Brakothrips is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae,[1] first described by Crespi, Morris and Mound in 2004.[2][3] The type species is Brakothrips gillesi.[2] Insects in this genus are found only in Australia, living under the splitting bark of young branches of Acacias (but one species utilises a similar habitat in Eucalyptus cinerea).[4][5]
