M. carnosa, is restricted to the Northern Hemisphere. The species of Massalongia in the Southern Hemisphere is M. patagonica which is widespread, with populations in Australia and New Zealand that differ from the South American populations, but at present best regarded as part of the variation of that species. Records from this hemisphere of all other species placed in the genus are incorrect.
