Abstract
The genus Eucalandra Faust is reviewed, including a redescription of the genus, diagnoses of the four previously described species, E. boxi Marshall, E. luteosignata (Blanchard), E. mexicana (Champion), comb. n., and E. setulosa (Gyllenhal), and the description of a new species, E. alas Anderson, sp. n., from Costa Rica. A key to the five now known species is provided, along with illustrations of the species and summaries of their natural history and distribution. These weevils are associated with bamboos.References
