Cryptoxilos thorpei is a species of parasitoid wasp belonging to the family Braconidae.

The species was identified by Scott R. Shaw and Jocelyn A. Berry in 2005, based on a holotype collected by Stephen E. Thorpe from the Symonds Street Cemetery in central Auckland, New Zealand in 2003.

[3] The holotype was discovered on a dead species of Pittosporum infested by adult Chaetoptelius mundulus beetles.

[3] The species has wider eyes compared to C. convergens, and due to the propodeum of C. thorpei being covered with lacunose foveae.

[3] The species has a long ovipositor, which it uses to insert eggs directly forwards into host beetles.
