The adults are captured on leaves of Distylium racemosum (Hamamelidaceae), but the larval host is not yet established. The record of M. obscurus from the Ryukyus by KOJIMA and MORIMOTO (1995 a, b) is regarded as a misidentification of the present new species. Two species incorrectly assigned to Amorphoidea MOTSCHULSK.Y (Curculioninae: Acalyptini) are transferred to Morimotozo (Curculioninae: Ochyromerini): M. niger (MOTSCHULSK.Y), comb. nov. and M. pilosus (FAUST), comb. nov. A revised key to species of the genus is provided.1 aKojima, Hiroaki1 aMatoba, Isao  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/taxonomic-notes-genus-morimotozo-coleoptera-curculionidae
