Abstract
The name Gynaikothrips ficorum is retained for the leaf-galling thrips species on decorative Ficus trees that has been distributed worldwide by the horticultural trade. Observations on this species and the clos ely similar species Gynaikothrips uzeli suggest that they are largely distinct and host-limited, although co-existing in Southeast Asia even within a single gall.
