We report a measurement of the exclusive e+e- -->Lambda_c+ Lambda_c- cross section as a function of center-of-mass energy near the Lambda_c+ Lambda_c- threshold. A clear peak with a significance of 8.2 sigma is observed in the Lambda_c+ Lambda_c- invariant mass distribution just above threshold. With an assumption of a resonance origin for the observed peak, a mass and width of M=(4634^{+8}_{-7}(stat.)^{+5}_{-8}(sys.))Mev/c2 and Gamma_tot=(92^{+40}_{-24}(stat.)}^{+10}_{-21}(sys.))MeV are determined. The analysis is based on a study of events with initial-state-radiation photons in a data sample collected with the Belle detector at the \Upsilon(4S) resonance and nearby continuum with an integrated luminosity of 695/fb at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider.
