Bocchus thorpei is a species of wasp belonging to the family Dryinidae.

The species was described by Massimo Olmi in 2007, based on a holotype collected by Stephen E. Thorpe from the Auckland Domain in March 2005.

[2] Females of the species measure between 2.81–3.50 mm (0.111–0.138 in), and have a black head and enlarged claws with a row of three subdistal teeth.

[2] The species is found in the vicinity of Auckland, Tauranga and the Marlborough Sounds in New Zealand.

[1] As it is typically found in modified habitats near port cities, it is unclear whether the species is endemic or introduced to New Zealand,[2] and it is suspected to be a species that originated in Australia.
