The genus contains at least 25 described species distributed across North America, Europe, and parts of Central Asia. Immature stages have been described for at least two species, M. punctumalbum and M. schoenherri, which exhibit distinctive morphological characters within the subfamily. M. punctumalbum, commonly known as the iris weevil, has been documented feeding on Iris species in central Europe.
