The relationship between the genera    Cleopomiarus    and    Miarus    of   Mecinini   (  Curculionidae  ,   Curculioninae  ) was tested on the basis of morphological characters from the immature stages. The mature larvae of five    Cleopomiarus    species (   C.   distinctus    (Boheman, 1845),    C.   graminis    (Gyllenhal, 1813),    C.   longirostris    (Gyllenhal, 1838),    C.   medius    (Desbrochers des Loges, 1893), and    C.   meridionalis    (H. Brisout de Barneville, 1863)), three    Miarus    species (   M.   abnormis    Solari, 1947,    M.   ajugae    (Herbst, 1795), and    M.   campanulae    (Linnaeus, 1767)), and the pupae of four    Cleopomiarus    species (   C.   distinctus   ,    C.   graminis   ,    C.   longirostris   , and    C.   medius   ) and two    Miarus    species (   M.   abnormis    and    M.   ajugae   ) are described in detail for the first time. To confirm the taxonomic identification of some larvae, DNA COI barcode was obtained and compared with those of adults. The immature stages of the species herein studied were compared with those known from other genera in tribe   Mecinini  . It is suggested that    Miarus    and    Cleopomiarus    may be monophyletic based on several shared distinctive characters. Larvae of    Miarus    have a characteristic maxillary mala with six finger-like  dms  of two sizes (one or two  dms  very long and the rest of medium length), this feature being apparently unique among weevils. Other genus-specific character states are observed in the pupae, such as the length of setae on the head, rostrum and pronotum, including the number of  rs  on the rostrum,  ds  on pronotum, and finally the shape of the urogomphi. A key to the described larvae and pupae were respectively presented. New biological and distributional data on some species are reported.
