The final stadium larva of Onychargia atrocyana Selys, 1865, is described and illustrated based on two female specimens collected at Gunung Mulu National Park, Sarawak, East Malaysia. The larvae were identified by matching the mitochondrial marker COI with that of known adult specimens from Gunung Mulu, Bintulu and Kuching in Sarawak and from Pahang state in West Malaysia. The specimens presented close matches with all adults in this gene. As O. atrocyana is a taxonomically isolated species with no close congeners in Borneo the determination is beyond doubt. O. atrocyana is the only member of the Onychargiinae for which the larva is known. It is compared with the known larvae of other platycnemidid subfamilies, and the possible significance of larval morphology in higher classification of the group is discussed.
基于在马来西亚东部沙捞越的姆鲁山国家公园采集的两只雌性标本，对1865年赛利斯命名的暗色奥氏蟌（Onychargia atrocyana）的末龄幼虫进行了描述并配有插图。通过将线粒体标记细胞色素氧化酶亚基I（COI）与来自沙捞越的姆鲁山、民都鲁和古晋以及马来西亚西部彭亨州已知成年标本的该标记进行比对，确定了这些幼虫的身份。这些标本在该基因上与所有成年个体都非常匹配。由于暗色奥氏蟌是一个分类学上孤立的物种，在婆罗洲没有近亲，所以这种鉴定是毫无疑问的。暗色奥氏蟌是奥氏蟌亚科中已知幼虫的唯一成员。将其与其他扇蟌亚科已知幼虫进行了比较，并讨论了幼虫形态在该类群高级分类中的可能意义。
