Summary:This study presents a comprehensive revision of the genus Heinrich, 1967. We describe a new species, Dal Pos & Di Giovanni, , from Burundi, marking the first documented occurrence of an Ichneumoninae species in the country. Additionally, we provide the first diagnostic description of the female Heinrich, 1967 and report a new occurrence of this species in KwaZulu-Natal. Furthermore, we document for Mpumalanga (South Africa) and Heinrich, 1967 in Uganda, thereby extending the known range of the latter into East Africa. A detailed catalogue of all species within the genus is also included.
