Abstract

Cryptopimpla sulawesiensis sp. n. (Ichneumonidae: Banchinae: Atrophini) is described from the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia (Sundaland). This is the first known representative of the genus in Indonesia and is also the southernmost record of Cryptopimpla in the Oriental region. The presence of Cryptopimpla in Sulawesi, which belongs to Wallacea, indicates the potential distribution of Cryptopimpla in the Indochina Peninsula, Sundaland (other than Sulawesi Is.) and possibly Australia, where there have been no records of the genus.
