Anderson, R. S. 2008. A review of the neotropical genus Eucalandra Faust, 1899 (Coleoptera; Curculionidae: Dryophthorinae). Zootaxa (1791): 57-67.
Resumen : 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.
"Eucalandra alas Anderson, sp. n.//Derivation of specific name. This species is named after the NSF funded Arthropods of La Selva inventory project (acronym, ALAS; Jack Longino and Robert Colwell, Co-Principal Investigators). Participants and employees in the project collected most of the specimens of this species and numerous other exciting insects during its almost 20 years of existence. The specific epithet “alas” is to be treated as a noun in apposition". (pag 66)
