We are dealing with a reaction-diusion equation ut = ¢u+uyy+f(u) in R n+1 , where (x;y) = (x1;:::;xn;y) 2 R n+1 and ¢ is the Laplacian in R n . Suppose that the equation has a bistable nonlinearity, namely it has two stable constant solutions u = 0;1 and an unstable one between those. With the unbalanced condition R 1 0 f(u)du > 0 the equation allows planar traveling waves connecting two constant solutions and an unstable standing solution v(x) > 0 of ¢v+f(v) = 0 with limjxj!1 v(x) = 0. Then we show that there are a family of traveling waves u = U(x;z); z = yict connecting u = 1 (or u = 0) at z = i1 to u = v(x) at z = 1 with speeds belonging to a half infinite interval. The proof is carried out by using the comparison principle and constructing a subsolution and a supersolution appropriately. The existence theorem can be extended to a more general reaction-diusion equation.
