BULLETIN 13D3, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE appeared in literature before this time. It was described in 1710 by Ray (55) under the name of Scarabaeus and again by Linne (43) in 1746 under the name of Curculio. In 1798 Clairville and Schellenberg (59, p. 62) erected the genus Calendra for the species granaria and abbreviata. Latreille (41, p. 4%1) m 1810 designated abbreviata Fab. as the type of the genus Calandra (sic), and in 1838 Schoenherr (60, p. 967) erected the genus Sitophilus to include the species granarius and oryzae. Hence, as noted by Pierce (51, p. 26) in 1919, the correct generic name for the granary weevil is undoubtedly Sitophilus and not Calendra or Calandra. The synonyms of the species are as follows: Fig. 1.-The granary weevil (Sitophilus granaTins); Adult, dorsal view. Enlarged about 38 times Sitophilus granarius Linne
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
