Predicting the Invasion Potential of the Lily Leaf Beetle, Lilioceris lilii Scopoli (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), in North America

A habitat suitability model was created, using georeferenced occurrence records from the lily leaf beetle’s native, naturalized, and invasive range, to help predict if L. lilii will be able to establish in locations were native North American Liliaceae species grow.

Distribution of Two Invasive Leaf Beetles, Pyrrhalta viburni (Paykull) and Lilioceris lilii (Scopoli) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), in Washington State

The recent appearance and rapid spread of P. viburni and Lilioceris lilii are recorded in eastern Washington State, a significant garden pests with potentially serious impacts on native flora.

Lilioceris lilii (lily leaf beetle).

L. lilii is a Eurasian chrysomelid beetle that was first found in Quebec, Canada, in 1943, from where it has spread to several Canadian Provinces, and Vermont and Maine in the USA, and it is now found in several New England States.

First Record of the European Rusted Flea Beetle, Neocrepidodera ferruginea (Scopoli, 1763), in North America (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae: Alticini)

The European rusted flea beetle Neocrepidodera ferruginea (Scopoli, 1763) is reported for the first time from Quebec and Ontario, Canada and represents a threat to Canadian agriculture, particularly if it reaches the Prairies in western Canada.

The viburnum leaf beetle recently entered the state from the north or northwest and spread south or southeast, and the Eurasian chrysomelid, Lilioceris lilii, occurred in all of the counties of Connecticut, being collected at 64 new sites.

Introduction and establishment of three parasitoids of the lily leaf beetle, lilioceris lilii (coleoptera: chrysomelidae), in north america

Three larval parasitoids were imported from Europe and introduced into North America to control Lilioceris lilii, an introduced herbivore of native and cultivated lilies, and all three parasitoid have spread a considerable distance from release sites.

Anthophagy in the leaf beetles (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae)

The mandibles and maxillae of the Donacia, Plateumaris, and Orsodacne species mentioned are adapted to consuming pollen and the feeding behavior was described, and the mouthparts of adults were studied.

Alien leaf beetles of European Russia: native ranges, invasion history, biology and vectors of dispersal

The first inventory of alien leaf beetles of European Russia is presented, difficult to distinguish species established before the 20th century from native ones because some species feed on native plants in native communities.

History of Coleoptera collecting in New Brunswick, Canada: advancing our knowledge of the Coleoptera fauna in the early 21st century

Among these specimens are the first occurrences of a number of adventive species to the Maritime provinces: Quedius mesomelinus (Marsham) (Staphylinidae) (Majka and Smetana 2007), Attagenus unicolor japonicas Reitter (Dermestidae) and others, including many that were the first records for New Brunswick and the region.
