Calandrina C. G. Thomson, 1859: 145 [stem: Calandr-]. Type genus: Calandra Gistel, 1848 [placed on the Official Index of Invalid and Rejected Generic Names in Zoology (ICZN 1959b); preoccupied genus name, not Calandra Clairville, 1798 [ Coleoptera : Curculionidae : Rhynchophorinae : Sphenophorini ]; syn. of Sitophilus Schönherr, 1837]. Comment: permanently invalid (Art. 39): based on suppressed type genus.

Litosomides Lacordaire, 1865: 303 [stem: Litosom-]. Type genus: Litosomus Lacordaire, 1865 [syn. of Toxorhinus Lacordaire, 1865]. Comment: original vernacular name available (Art. 11.7.2): first used in latinized form by Faust (1895: 224, as Litosominorum ), generally accepted as in Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal (1999: 65, as Litosomini ).

Sitophili Csiki, 1936: 68 [stem: Sitophil-]. Type genus: Sitophilus Schönherr, 1837 [placed on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology (ICZN 1959b)]. Comment: name proposed to replace Calandrina C. G. Thomson, 1865 because of the synonymy of the type genus ( Calandra auctorum is a synonym of Sitophilus Schönherr, 1837).
