Chorebus thorpei is a species of parasitoid wasp belonging to the family Braconidae.[2] The species was first described by Jocelyn A. Berry in 2007, and is endemic to New Zealand.
The species was identified by Jocelyn A. Berry in 2007, based on a holotype collected by Stephen E. Thorpe from Little Windy Hill on Great Barrier Island in the Auckland Region, New Zealand in February 2002.[3][4] The first known specimen of this species was collected in 1982, but was only recognised as a member of this species in 2007.[3] Berry named the species after Thorpe.[3]
