Wallacea refers to a group of Indonesian islands separated by deep water from the Asian and Australian continental shelves, which includes Sulawesi and parts of the Maluku Islands, but not Timor.

However, the question's phrasing inaccurately combines Sulawesi (part of Wallacea) and Timor, which are geographically and geologically distinct. Wallacea is the correct term for the region including Sulawesi in the context of biogeographical separation.
