Monoblastus clauseni is a species of parasitoid wasp belonging to the family Ichneumonidae.[2]

It was first described in 1930 as Polyrhysia clauseni by the Japanese entomologist, Toichi Uchida,[2][4] from a specimen collected in Korea in June 1928 by C.P. Clausen,[4] whom the species epithet honours.

in 1955, Uchida described the species, Tryphon satoi, which Kasparyan synonymised in 1973 to Monoblastus clauseni.[3][5] In the same article Uchida also described Tryphon clauseni[3] which was synonymised in 1965 with Tryphon satoi by Townes, Momoi & Townes.[3][6] Japanese taxonomists give Tryphon (Stenocrotaphon) nagahamensis Uchida, 1930 as the accepted name.[3]

The wasp is native to the Korean peninsula,[2] where the type specimen was collected,[4] and if Kasparyan's synonymisation is accepted, it is also found in Russia.[3]
