Anaglyptothrips is a genus of thrips in the family Phlaeothripidae,[1] first described by Laurence Mound and Palmer in 1983.[2] There is only one species known in this genus, Anaglyptothrips dugdalei, which was described from a specimen collected in New Zealand. However it is also found in New South Wales and Queensland.[3] (In New South Wales it has also been found on Norfolk Island.)[4][5]

The species, Anaglyptothrips dugdalei, is wingless and feeds on fungal spores at the base of grass tussocks.[3]
