Five new species of the rare genus Buluka de Saeger, 1948 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Microgastrinae), B. buntikae Hovorka & Fernández-Triana sp. nov. (from Thailand), B. frederiquebakkerae Hovorka & Fernández-Triana sp. nov. (from Indonesia), B. janaorlikovae Hovorka & Fernández-Triana sp. nov. (from Vietnam), B. longi Hovorka & Fernández-Triana sp. nov. (from Vietnam), and B. petrjanstai Hovorka & Fernández-Triana sp. nov (from Thailand), are described in this paper. The newly described species increase the total number of species in this genus to 16 (i.e., by 45%).
