Type species: Leeuwenia gladiatrix Karny , by monotypy. This is an Old World genus with most species in tropical Asia. These are leaf-feeding, sometimes gall-inducing, thrips and 27 species are listed in the area between Mauritius , Japan and northern Australia ( Mound 2004 ). Seven species are recorded from China , four from Indonesia and two from the Philippines . Despite the elongate tube, this genus is probably related to Gynaikothrips in the Liothrips- lineage.
