Sundukov (2017) included the Sakha Republic in the distribution of this species. The record of Kajmuk (1972) from Yakutia (also Verzhutskij 1981) was based on a misidentification of Pamphilius balteatus (Fallén, 1808) (Shinohara 1986c). Zhelochovtsev & Zinovjev (1995) and Shinohara & Lelej (2007) did not include O. lucida in the Russian fauna. Onycholyda lucida is endemic to Japan (Shinohara 2019, 2020).
