Hancock (2001) included three species: pulcherrima Hering View in CoL from Myanmar and W China, variegata (Radhakrishnan) from NE India and biseta (Wang) from SW China. A fourth species is added here from northern India. Only the host plant of M. variegata is known; it forms stem galls on Inula cappa View in CoL ( Asteraceae View in CoL : Radhakrishnan, 1984).
