A molecular analysis based on mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) gene sequences has indicated that larvae collected in Sichuan and Zhejiang Provinces, China, belong to Onycholyda xanthogaster Shinohara, 1999, and O. fulvicornis Shinohara, in Shinohara Wei, 2016 (Hymenoptera, Pamphiliidae), and that a male Onycholyda specimen from Mt. Tianmushan, Zhejiang Province is the hitherto unknown male of O. tianmushana Shinohara Xiao, 2006. The first host plant records are Rubus inopertus (Focke) Focke (Rosaceae) for O. xanthogaster and Rubus hirsutus Thunb. for O. fulvicornis. The larvae of O. xanthogaster and O. fulvicornis are briefly described and O. xanthogaster is newly recorded from Sichuan Province. The male of O. tianmushana is described for the first time.
