Abstract

Lilioceris lilii (Scopoli) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), the Lily Leaf Beetle, is an invasive European species first found at Montreal, Canada, in the 1940s (Gold et al. 2001). It is a serious pest of cultivated Lilium spp. and Fritillaria spp. (Liliaceae) and has spread across southern Canada and northeastern United States (LeSage 1983; Gold et al. 2001). The beetle also poses a threat to native lilies in Ontario and Quebec, including Canada Lily, Lilium canadense L., and Wood Lily, Lilium philadelphicum L. (Ernst et al. 2007; Bouchard et al. 2008). In fact, in Ontario and Quebec eight out of 20 wild populations of L. canadense were infested with L. lilii (Bouchard et al. 2008). There are also records of L. lilii adults feeding on plants in other liliaceous genera, e.g., Polygonatum (Temperé 1926; Fox Wilson 1942), Streptopus (Ernst 2007), as well as genera in other families, e.g., Solanum (Solanaceae) (Temperé 1926).
