The Banchinae are a large cosmopolitan subfamily that includes approximately 1,700 species in 65 genera. The number of species in South Korea is still pooly known and only 18 of the 275 Eastern Palaearctic species have been reported. Most species are koinobiont endoparasitoids of Lepidopteran larvae and pupae. A few banchines also parasitize Coleoptera and Hymenoptera. This subfamily is divided into three tribes; Atrophini, Banchini and Glyptini. The former is the largest tribe with 953 species in 40 genera, and is easily distinguished from two other tribes by the tergites without oblique grooves and the nevellus which is intercepted at middle. Cryptopimpla is moderately large genus with worldwide distribution. As a member of tribe Atrophini, Cryptopimpla can be distinguished by follow: Occipital carina connected with hypostomal carina; epomia absent; lower half of mesopleuron weakly convex; ovipositor sheath 0.5-1.0 times as long as hind tibia; ovipositor tip with subapical dorsal notch. Until now the genus was not found in Korean fauna. Here we report four species, two of them are described as new to science. The description is given also for newly reported male of Cryptopimpla brevigena Kuslitzkii and C. carinifacialis Sheng. A key for South Korean species is proposed.
