Banana plants from the Philippines riddled by Cosmo polites 
sordidus, were reported to be also infested with Calandra remota 
Sharp. In the abstract of this report (see Rev. Appl. Ent. 
(Ser. A) vol. 4, p. 199) the reviewer has substituted Polytes 
mellerborgi Boh., placing Calandra remota Sharp in _paren- 
theses. 
Notes on this species, under the name Calandra remota have 
appeared in the Proceedings of the Hawaiian Entomological 
Society as follows: 
Vol. 1, p. 113, Giffard took 20 specimens from decaying 
banana stems on Tantalus. 
Vol. 3, p. 269, Giffard took a specimen in beating “ieie” 
vines. 
Vol. 3, p. 388, Bridwell found the larvae feeding in the base 
of banana stems. 
Vol. 4, p. 76, Bridwell reported that specimens collected by 
Muir in China, Malay Peninsula, Java, Borneo and Amboina 
belonged to this species. 
Vol. 4, p. 464, Swezey found nine specimens in the decay- 
ing corm of a banana plant at Kaimuki, and again (p. 472) he 
took 65 of these weevils from beneath the dried-up leaf sheaths 
of one banana plant at the same place. These had apparently 
matured from larvae that had developed in the corm below the 
surface.
