The Australian tomato weevil;, reports of which have been published in the 
last two numbers of the Survey Bulletin, is the insect described by Lea under 
the name of Desiantha nocjLva, However, cur most recent information on this 
pest indicates that it belongs to the large complex known as Listroderes f a 
complex-, containing several distinct genera, one of which is Listronotus Jek. 
The specie s nociva does not belong to Listronotus as recognized by LeConte, 
of which there are 20 species in North America, It is more closely related to 
several South American Listroderes* Although the pest undoubtedly does net 
belong to the genus Desiantha we believe it will be advisable to adhere to this 
name until future studies of the Listroderes complex are published.
