The Maromerus genus belongs to the Curculionidae family (true weevils), specifically the Cryptorhynchinae subfamily. Members of this subfamily, including Maromerus, are often referred to as woodboring weevils due to their characteristic behavior of feeding on and inhabiting wood or plant stems. Cryptorhynchinae weevils, including Maromerus, typically have specialized adaptations for living in wood and similar plant material.
