Gynaikothrips ficorum, the Cuban laurel thrips, is a species of tube-tailed thrip in the family Phlaeothripidae. It is found in Africa, North America, and Europe.[1][2][3] It is widespread around the world because of its host, Ficus.[4]

It was first described by Paul Marchal in 1908 as Phloeothrips ficorum.[2][5]

In Australia, where it is known as the Fig leaf-rolling thrips, it has been found in New South Wales, the Northern Territory, Queensland, and Western Australia.[6]
