Two new species belonging to the genus Glaucocharis Meyrick, 1938 are described from southwest China: Glaucocharis sperlingi sp. n. and G. nussi sp. n. The female of G. castaneus Song & Chen, 2002 is described for the first time. The geographical distribution of the genus in China is analysed. The precipitation of the warmest quarter is revealed to be the strongest predictor affecting the present distribution pattern of the genus. A map showing the distribution of the known Chinese localities of Glaucocharis is provided.
